Industry IoT Consortium
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 →
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 →
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....

A big part of Industry 4.0 requires the successful integration of the supply chain into the manufacturing process. In the ideal vision, a close cooperation, with rapid information sharing, is established between suppliers, the manufacturer and end customers. But this vision demands a major paradigm shift from traditional manufacturing infrastructure.... Read more →
On May 17th, the Edge Lab is hosting a special conference celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Lab on the Princeton campus. “Edge10: A Conference on Edge & Fog” is open to the public and represents an important milestone for the edge industry. The conference will feature prominent leaders from the nation's leading research universities and industry, including large, established players and vibrant startups.... Read more →
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is driving the addition of more connected devices. Cybersecurity is critical to the success of IIOT. The demonstration illustrates how the IIC’s recently released Industrial Internet Security Framework can be applied to solve this challenging problem. Mimicking a real-world, multi-vendor, distributed environment, the demonstration integrates existing Hannover Messe demos from 24 IIC and Plattform Industrie 4.0 member companies into a single security solution. It spans multiple booths at Hannover Messe and remote sites around the world.... Read more →
Three of the main goals of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)community are (1) clarify the rich but often confusing landscape of IIoT connectivity, (2) set a stable long-term foundation for IIoT interoperability and architecture strategy, (3) provide practical, useful and tangible guidance for IIoT connectivity requirements assessment, technology evaluation and selection. The ‘Industrial Internet Connectivity Framework’ (IICF), published by the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) in February 2017, accomplishes these goals.... Read more →
