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.

The modern distributed workplace—including enterprises with thousands of branches and remote workers—requires updated approaches to cloud, networking, and security infrastructure. Cloud migration has opened the door to a huge increase in sophisticated applications, requiring networks that can carry traffic to an increasingly remote workforce. In turn, this creates a unique set of new requirements for security, including special capabilities to handle unpredictable locations of users, applications, and traffic flows.

Governments around the world are creating Internet of Things (IoT) security legislation and regulations designed to keep users safe in an increasingly connected world. Connectivity is good and, in fact, great but bad things can happen to people with unprotected or poorly protected IoT devices. Failing to meet government regulations or guidelines may lead to the inability to sell products in a region and thus to lost revenue. However, the regulations are constantly in a state of flux. This white paper provides updated background on what governments are suggesting or requiring as well as specific details on how to implement security defenses and obtain security certifications that can satisfy current and even future government requirements

The Accenture-Cisco Center of Excellence is an international center integrated with ACIC+ and its catalogue with a hub in Rome in the Accenture Cloud Innovation Center and one in Milan, in the Cisco Cybersecurity Co-Innovation Center as well as a Demo Center at Equinix’s datacenter ML5. The Center will leverage Market leader software-defined solutions for DC, WAN and LAN, Security for both corporate and industrial sites, to establish, based on Equinix Fabric and network edge catalog, a direct and low latency cloud interconnection through its resilient facilities to main cloud providers (MAG). The benefits of having Equinix in this architecture are numerous in terms of lower IT costs thanks to consumption-based billing, faster time-to-market and rapid innovation that supports large scale-up with fluid and real-time service enablement, plus monitoring from a single portal.
