Securing The Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT): An Overview

Welcome to "The Connected Frontier," where we explore the cutting edge of technology and its impact on our world. In this episode, we delve into the critical topic of securing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), a rapidly expanding landscape transforming modern industries. We examine the inherent vulnerabilities within IIoT devices, communication protocols, and network architectures, highlighting how these weaknesses pave the way for various cyberattacks like ransomware, DoS, and sophisticated APTs. The discussion also covers the often-overlooked human element and supply chain risks, underscoring how crucial a proactive and multi-layered security approach is to protect not just data, but also lives and livelihoods in this interconnected frontier.
