IIoT: Roadblocks and Opportunities

The industrial IoT (Internet of Things) has many opportunities. But it also faces many roadblocks. The first roadblock that needs to be addressed is security. In a previous blog, I addressed a new security framework published by the IIC (Industrial Internet Consortium) that offers best practices to help players protect the industrial Internet.

This framework is one example of how the industry is coming together to not only recognize the problem of security, but also address it. In talking with many industry leaders and players, it seems like too many industrial systems lack adequate security measures.
