Disruptive technologies are transforming all industries into digital industries and repositioning them to reap the benefits of Industry 4.0. In the industrial context, digital transformation (DX) is primarily a business objective.The IIC has captured the many challenges and technological hurdles that accompany this journey along with guidance in their recently published white paper, Digital Transformation in Industry....

Trustworthiness in the Internet of Things and Digital Transformation is a concept that has been pioneered by the Industrial Internet Consortium. It’s a really innovative concept in this context, and is destined to make much of today’s debate about simple ‘Security’ seem out of date.... Read more →
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 →
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 →
A new IIC white paper seeks to raise awareness that security is more than just a business problem. Security extends to a range of attributes that comprise what the IIC refers to as “IoT Trustworthiness”, which includes the safety of people directly impacted by these new technologies. The inherent complexity to IIoT security necessitates a team approach to tackling data protection. ... Read more →
Trustworthiness in the context of an industrial system is a relatively new term intended to provide a better understanding of the meaning of trust in such a system and how this trust can be approached by the operational user as well as the planner and designer of the system. While industrial systems vary greatly in their purpose and scope, their stakeholders share an important common element, and that is a deep-rooted trust.... Read more →
In 2016, the Industrial Internet Consortium gained agreement upon an understanding of the term “trustworthiness” and its effect on design and operation of an industrial system. At the core of that understanding was a definition of trustworthiness and the designation of five characteristics that define trustworthiness.... Read more →
