Every day more devices from various manufacturers are connected to corporate intranets and the internet. Creating a security framework in which these devices live is more critical than ever before.

Cybersecurity must be a top priority for every industrial company, not only because of the increasing threat of cyber attacks but because compliance with security regulations such as the Cyber Resilience Act and NIS2 is more important than ever. 

The industrial sector is rapidly evolving, and organizations are accelerating their digitalization efforts with automation, AI, and connected sensors and machines.

Vehicles are becoming increasingly complex and connected. New vehicles can contain up to 300 million lines of code and more than 150 electronic control units that communicate with systems within the vehicle.

The world of IoT devices and machines is divided into two classes: those with abundant power and connectivity bandwidth and those with a much more strictly limited budget. But both classes of devices still have the same security requirements.

Vehicle security is an ever-evolving challenge. To ensure security, every device needs an identity, and every identity needs to be managed.

The continued rise of digital comes with a series of changes, including a renewed emphasis on security.

I recently had the opportunity to attend the 2022 Bosch Connected World conference in Berlin, which highlights state-of-the-art IoT technologies.

The stakes for organizations getting IoT security right have never been higher.

The stakes for manufacturing security are high: When a factory goes down, financial losses can be calculated in terms of time and output.
