Cloud services have become a key enabling tool in digital transformation because of their ability to store, process and analyze large amounts of data in a centralized location.

Rather than simply defining a minimalist access policy, security posture and context can play a role in improving Zero Trust security. This helps significantly reduce risk by making more informed decisions about connectivity.

If IIoT can eliminate the route-based inspections of that legacy equipment and bring about route prioritization, it can have a high-value proposition for organizations.

Through analysis, data not only can help optimize products and services but can also significantly improve operational efficiency, increase profits and create new business models that previously were not possible.

As we approach 2024, the market is poised to continue this deceleration, moving further away from the double-digit growth experienced during 2021 and 2022.

How to implement Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications and transform smart factories using digital transformation becomes key to the survival of companies amid the current turbulent climate.

Attackers can circumvent obstacles to target Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) networks by using drones to bypass physical barriers. These drones can be equipped with signal jamming technology to automatically locate and disrupt part of the industrial communication infrastructure. Nozomi Networks Labs investigated the likelihood of attacks against low-power radio frequency WAN (LoRaWAN) technology used in IIoT networks.

While bad actors will undoubtedly continue to evolve their tactics and techniques, there are strategies and practices that enable OT leaders to stay ahead of these threats. One of the key aspects of strengthening cybersecurity posture involves the connection between security and compliance, and then layering in automation.

A worksheet that calculates control valve installed gain can be part of any control valve selection process. This article was originally published in the December 2021 issue of InTech magazine.

Certified DTMs establish interoperability criteria for IIoT and I4.0 applications.

The search for reliable, practical information on building EtherNet/IP subnetworks on Ethernet for factory floor manufacturing systems is over. This article was originally published in the Automation 2021: Control Systems Ebook.

The variable speed drive market is back on track, with 7.7% growth predicted for 2021. Interact Analysis' latest market research offers insight into three important trends influencing the drives market: functional safety, predictive maintenance and efficiency regulations.

Inevitably, IT/OT integration has become one of the key indicators of a company's potential future growth. However, despite its importance, IT/OT integration remains inconceivable to many companies due to one main obstacle: cybersecurity.

Let's take a look at various types of check valves and discuss how they work, how they're applied and how to select the right type.

The just-released SANS 2021 OT/ICS Cybersecurity Survey, sponsored by Nozomi Networks, uncovered some surprising findings. We take a look at some compelling statistics that ICS operators should take note of as they work to protect their OT and ICS systems.

Predictive maintenance is fast becoming recognized as one of the more easily exploited applications of that popular but not always easily defined concept in industry–digitalization. One aspect of digitalization, however, stands out as worthy of swift and serious consideration: predictive maintenance.

Modern instrumentation provides plenty of information—here’s how to get it into IIoT software. This article comes from the IIoT & Industry 4.0 eBook.

Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, like asset management sensors and environmental monitoring devices, deliver huge benefits to critical infrastructure and industrial organizations, including cost reduction and safety improvements. But they also create security gaps because many operators don’t have the tools needed to monitor and protect them.

By Tatjana Milenovic, ABB Food & Beverage Connected automation systems are making food and beverage manufacturing more efficient, productive and cost-effective, but this greater connectivity creates greater opportunities for agroterrorism. This article discusses the need to integrate data protection into a wider plant safety system.

Studio 5000 Logix Designer (formerly known as RSlogix 5000) is used to program the most powerful Allen-Bradley PLCs (technically PACs), including the ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers.
