5 Easy Steps to Connect and Secure IoT Devices

Sign up to this webinar to learn: - How to connect your devices - Challenges of securing devices, applications and data, and how to overcome them - Real world examples of secure connected devices for Industrial and Healthcare IoT adoption has increased in recent years due to the benefits gained by organizations in almost every industry, just by connecting their devices to the internet. Connected sensors, actuators and edge nodes enable companies to pick up on inefficiencies and problems sooner and save time and money while supporting business intelligence efforts. In manufacturing specifically, IIoT holds great potential for quality control, sustainable and green practices, supply chain traceability and overall supply chain efficiency. In an industrial setting, IIoT is key to processes such as predictive maintenance, enhanced field service, energy management and asset tracking. The IoT has the potential to create a world where billions of devices can connect and communicate seamlessly. But bridging the gap between the digital and physical has proven harder than expected. Most deployments were brownfield and required technological, architectural, and organizational integration with legacy solutions. In addition, Security has turned out to be one of the greatest barriers to widespread IoT adoption. The good news is that we’ve come to recognize a secure by design approach as the most viable security option for organizations in IIoT, healthcare and smart connected products. Security architectures must be flexible and allow for multi-vendor collaboration. Ultimately, a security solution which prevents and protects against security attacks is better than a detect and respond method which many traditional IT security vendors offer today.
