The State of Automotive Industrial IoT: Are Auto Companies Secure?
When applied in industrial control system (ICS) environments, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies result in the creation of cyber-physical systems – systems that combine advanced manufacturing technologies with advanced computing technologies to create better outcomes. These systems promise vastly improved operational efficiencies, but they’re not without security risks.
This digitized model drives smarter manufacturing operations. Industrial IoT equips machines and the humans who work with them to understand, reason and learn to drive operational improvements. But without adequate security, these systems become vulnerable to cyberattacks that can put the future of businesses and their entire ecosystems at risk.
