Edge Management: Gaining value from IoT

PKI and machine identities are essential building blocks to digital trust as organizations accelerate their path to multi-cloud, zero-trust, and DevOps strategies. According to research from the Identity Defined Security Alliance, 2022 Trends in Securing Digital Identities, 98% of organizations indicated that they are experiencing a growth in identities with 43% attributing the growth to machine identities. Organizations are struggling with the expansion of identity types and specifically the expansion in the machine identity landscape, and the challenges are getting more complex.

In this webinar, we will address the unique requirements of IoT projects and leverage the data captured to transform the new value chain. Designing and building IoT apps requires a unique skillset and the know-how that takes a team of experts years to perfect.

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents an enormous opportunity for technology vendors. But selling IoT outcomes – in particular into industries that have deep industrial or operational technology (OT) roots – is a fundamental departure from the traditional IT sale.Vendors face a more complex solution sale that goes beyond the usual IT buyer and involves multiple stakeholders that sit at the crossroads of IT, OT and strategic business agendas. For the first time ever, 451 Research launched a Voice of the Enterprise (VoTE) IoT: OT Stakeholder Perspective survey in addition to the quarterly VotE IoT: survey of IT decision-makers. Together, these two surveys provide complementary insights and guidance into the IT and OT view of enterprise IoT deployments, budgets, spending, technology priorities, vendor choices and more.

There's gold in legacy devices—if you can reach it. Long-serving equipment, machines and systems may be the backbone of industrial manufacturing, but many if not most were built and installed in the years before today's on-board microprocessors and Ethernet or wireless network connections were available. It's this lack of data processing and connectivity that makes it difficult to access the useful data that many plant-floor devices contain. However, there are a few ways to overcome these obstacles, and take advantage of the insights and efficiencies this equipment can provide.
