The Industrial Internet of Things is Really Control Networking 2.0

March 1, 2016

Distinct from the human IoT—in which human users are integral to the interaction with the Internet—the industrial IoT (IIoT) requires industrial-strength reliability, hardened security, and both wired and wireless connectivity. And despite the “Internet” part of its name, the IIoT is not just about sending data to the cloud. Within the IIoT are autonomous communities of devices able to take action directly, without mediation through a centralized cloud infrastructure. All of this raises an important question: Is the IIoT something fundamentally different from the control networking that’s been evolving for the past 25 years or so, and which is familiar to anyone working with the LONWORKS® control networking platform? The answer is no. The IIoT is really the next generation, or version 2.0, of traditional control networking.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and its Adoption

whitePaper | September 22, 2022

The complexity and cost of ensuring network security and remote access for employees and key business partners can overwhelm smaller businesses. Higher cloud adoption, a distributed workforce, mobile employees, the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks make traditional methods of ensuring secure communications across your organization overly complex and expensive. Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) reduces the surface area for attack by following zero trust tenets to provide access to applications. ZTNA from OpenVPN Cloud creates a private, secure overlay network for businesses, which connects all of their applications, private networks, workforce, and IoT devices together without needing to own and manage a multitude of complex and hard-to-scale security and data networking gear.
