Safeguarding Devices—Not Just Data—From Cyberattack

Once, industrial equipment, assets, and processes operated in isolation and were vulnerable only to physical attack. In today’s digitized world, however, barbed wire, concrete walls, checkpoints, and other traditional safeguards are only part of the infrastructure security playbook.

Exponentially expanded by the network-connected and ubiquitous agglomeration of Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) sensors and data processing engines, the attack surface extends to environments that include manufacturing facilities, supply chains, and most alarmingly, critical infrastructure sectors.
