A Reality Check for Tech-Dependent Societies

We pride ourselves in our resilience and our ability to think and invent our way out of a crisis. Technological optimism has been one of the engines of modern life, and its promise has often held true in the past. Time and again, technology has helped us master the challenges of history. At the same time, we have become reliant on it, and too often willfully ignorant of the consequences.... Read more →

5G and Industry 4.0

Wireless connectivity is needed to achieve the agility demanded by Industry 4.0, particularly in large scale manufacturing facilities. Currently wireless is only used sparingly, typically with unlicensed spectrum technologies. Several competing wireless technologies are emerging as candidates for Industry 4.0, including WiFi-6 for unlicensed spectrum, and 4G-LTE and 5G in licensed spectrum bands. Recent 5G technology releases have incorporated key capabilities for Industry 4.0, such as ultra-reliable low latency connectivity, Ethernet-TSN integration, and a variety of features for massive machine type communications....

Software Trustworthiness in the IIoT

Software trustworthiness – what does it mean for developers, owner-operators and decision makers in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems? The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) recently published a white paper, Software Trustworthiness Best Practices, that delved into the complete software lifecycle process, including such practical issues as software updates and end-of-life strategies, as well as among many other issues, considering vulnerabilities in the system environment and the consequences of failure in such environments. The overall objective of the white paper was to take a comprehensive look at all of the elements involved in achieving the ultimate goal of trustworthy software and protection mechanisms that produce predictable and desirable business and operational outcomes in the IIoT....

2019 Year in Review for the Industrial Internet Consortium

Since it was founded in March 2014, the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) has been tested and proven to bring together organizations and technologies necessary to accelerate the growth of the industrial internet. The organization has become the largest IIoT consortium in the world and proven to be a thought leader repeatedly through identifying, assembling, testing and promoting best practices. 2019 was indubitably one of the most transformative, influential years so far....

What Would Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning Look Like?

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have made huge gains over the last few years, thanks to the vast amount of data available and to the gains made in raw hardware processing power. The success of AI and ML also comes with certain risks, however – in particular the risks around privacy of the collected data... Read more →

New IIC White Paper Aims to Demystify Edge Computing

Edge computing, fog computing, mist, cloudlets, thing-to-cloud continuum and fog-to-cloud continuum, elasticity, multi-tenancy, data gravity. When it comes to the state of computing infrastructure and operations for the IoT, these are just the tip of the iceberg of terms that have percolated to the front page of today’s tech lexicon. If you’ve ever wondered what it all means, how it’s all put together and what the benefits are, you’ve come to the right place.... Read more →

IIoT Micro-segmentation

Industrial and IIoT networks almost always represent engineering risks, as well as conventional “business” risks. Engineering risk is risk to physical operations: plants shutting down, threats to employee safety and equipment damage. Micro-segmentation is an effective security strategy to address these physical/engineering risks in OT and IIoT networks.... Read more →

What is IIoT? The Industrial Internet of Things Primer

Five-plus years after the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) burst into corporate consciousness – and the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) was launched - much has been discussed and written about this powerful new era of connected, intelligent machines and devices. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of IIC members, solid groundwork has been made on recommendations on the IIoT reference architecture, IIoT security, IIoT connectivity framework and more. Still, much of the information on IIoT is scattered across the digital landscape. This blog takes a consolidated look the ‘what,’ ‘why,’ ‘how,’ and ‘where’ of the IIoT.... Read more →

Industrial Cybersecurity in 2019: There’s Still a Long Distance to Maturity

Reading the recent State of Industrial Cybersecurity Report 2019, one may think the situation with ICS cybersecurity has improved since last year: more organizations name OT cybersecurity a top priority, implement or plan to implement measures accordingly and suffer less from incidents or breaches. But let’s look at the report from the Industrial Internet Consortium IoT Security Maturity Model point of view, keeping in mind that maturity is about effectiveness and not the arbitrary use of measures....
