Embedded Computing Design

At its core, the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) offers an always-on collection of process data, a cloud of analysis capability, and dashboards full of actionable insights. With access to such information, teams can increase efficiency and product quality, speed up decision-making, and reduce equipment downtime and operating costs. However, a sometimes haphazard approach to rollout has left these systems open to cyberattacks because security is often an area that companies do not want to invest in until it is too late.
