Security for the Industrial IOT

March 1, 2016

As the technology of the Internet of Things (IoT) finds more and more applications in home and commercial services, there is a growing need for secure access to data in real time. Most approaches to data collection and distribution rely on relational databases, which are not suited to the high-speed data transfer that consumers have grown to expect.

Imagine that all electronic devices are born with their own individual device-id, to distinguish them on the Internet. The unique device-id would work like the URL of web pages, email addresses and Skype™ caller-ids, allowing any device to be instantly recognizable.With the device-id, you can seamlessly connect to the device, and read or visualize the data inside it. The data helps you to understand the usage, operation and working environment of the device, letting you make better and faster decisions. Based on this new knowledge, and the ability to link to the device, you can easily issue commands to alter the behavior of the device and the operations it controls, making your environment safer and more comfortable. As a company, you might even be able to develop new business models and revenue, or create new, better products, based on the information you have accessed from the device.We believe the way to do this is by creating an ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) infrastructure, based on a

How Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Can Help Your Business Survive the Pandemic—And Prevail in the Future

whitePaper | August 23, 2022

Growing demand for remote working solutions in light of the pandemic is bolstering the case for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) adoption. In this white paper, we discuss why VDI is best suited for today’s business environments, especially since remote work is poised to play a big role both now and in the “new normal” of a post-COVID-19 world. We discuss VDI’s main advantages, its shortcomings and what can be done to address them.

Global Industry Standards for Industrial IoT

whitePaper | June 2, 2021

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a rapidly expanding world of connected objects. As IIoT systems proliferate, large amounts of data are consumed by machine learning algorithms and shared between partners, customers and others. IIoT is a technology environment in which integration and interoperability are critical capabilities and the complexity of this environment makes this difficult to achieve. Standards play a critical role in IIoT for five main reasons. First, users and vendors cannot engineer a custom interface every time components or systems need to interact. Standards can make this explosion of interfaces manageable; they are the lingua franca for interoperability. For suppliers, this eliminates needless costs related to common capabilities instead encouraging a focus on innovations that add value.

Connected Cars – Architecture,Challenges and Way Forward

whitePaper | January 2, 2020

The global automotive industry has been witnessing a transformation over the last decade with digital communication technologies making rapid inroads in vehicles. The world is moving towards the concept of connected transportation that focuses on providing enhanced connectivity like vehicles communicating with each other to know their presence, real-time communication facility to the occupants of the vehicle. This functionality is enabled by variety of technologies like vehicle to vehicle.

5G The Future of IoT

whitePaper | November 1, 2019

The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming businesses and peoples’ lives, and will continue to ignite innovations in the future. It is expected that we will progress to tens of billions of connected devices globally over the next decade1 that will generate multi-trillion dollars of economic value2 across many markets forming the foundation of a totally interconnected world—or the Internet of Everything.

Industrial IoT Artificial Intelligence Framework

whitePaper | February 22, 2022

Industrial Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the use of AI in applications in industry1 and a major contributor to value creation in the fourth industrial revolution. AI is being embedded in a wide range of applications, helping organizations achieve significant benefits and empowering them to transform how they deliver value to the market. This document provides guidance and assistance in the development, training, documentation, communication, integration, deployment and operation of AI-enabled industrial IoT systems.

Creating secure IoT device identities

whitePaper | December 5, 2022

IoT applications are extremely vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks as they control both data access (often personal or sensitive) and connected devices. Without proper security, IoT technology will not grow as projected nor live up to its true potential in the marketplace. This paper focuses on how to create secure IoT device and sensor identities, fostering data access and interaction across devices in a trusted ecosystem.
