At some point, most successful industrial Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives become data science projects. Connected sensors on machines and equipment, tools, pallets and manufactured items generate volumes of data points. But the prospect of business or operational success hinges not on data collection alone, but on a broad range of skills extending across the […]
Organizations are leveraging the vast amounts of data generated by their IoT devices to inform a wide variety of business decisions. Their success is no small feat: collecting, managing, and analyzing IoT data effectively at scale requires strategic planning, new infrastructure development, governance structures, and often new organizational skill sets rooted in data management and […]
From shortages of personal protective equipment to a variety of grocery items to electronics and apparel, coronavirus (COVID-19) has hit the global supply chain in expected and unforeseen ways, and it seems likely that it could take many months to recover. Bouncing back more quickly, said experts, will require supply chain managers to turn to […]
While the average person speaks about 15,000 words a day, increasingly they’re speaking those words to machines. Smart speaker adoption has been rapid, with voice assistants such as Alexa setting the pace. Today 53 million people in the U.S. already own at least one. The number of voice assistants in U.S. homes has doubled since […]
With roots in NASA research, digital twins promise to upgrade product development and operational performance in an array of contexts. Today, the digital twin is mainstream as technologies such as sensors, big data analytics and cloud computing power a new generation of Internet of Things (IoT)-connected products, industrial assets, buildings and even city infrastructure. In […]
The coronavirus pandemic is arguably the first time a biological virus has a significant impact on the security industry. Cybercriminals can exploit the vulnerabilities in the security protections of medical facilities, homes and factories. At the same time, a handful of governments have rethought physical security with surveillance infrastructure to enforce coronavirus quarantines. The pandemic […]
While many corporations struggle to win the trust of an ever more cynical public, the stakes are higher for industrial organizations that must rely on various software type. Problematic software can cause operational downtime, intellectual property loss and, in some cases, life-threatening consequences. There has been a recent uptick in interest in trustworthy software concerning […]
Data-driven experiences are rich, immersive and immediate. But they’re also delay-intolerant data hogs. Think pizza delivery by drone, video cameras that can record traffic accidents at an intersection, freight trucks that can identify a potential system failure. These kinds of fast-acting activities need lots of data — quickly. So they can’t sustain latency as data […]
Cyber-attacks on Operational Technology are increasing in frequency and scale. With tensions in the geopolitical field growing, this is reflected in the cyberspace. Critical infrastructure and other key operational systems are front and center for national security concerns in result of the advancements in attacker technologies. This whitepaper evaluates the development of known OT attack […]
There are three fundamental challenges in cyber security. The attack surface is ever expanding, and new entry-points of attackers are gaining foothold. In result, security teams are struggling to keep up with the rising volume of routine attacks. These fast-moving threats make impacts before they have these teams have time to respond. Explore the critical […]
