A 2023 Statista report projects that by 2030 there will be 30 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices in use. That is three times as many as there were in 2020. The numbers continue to grow because connecting sensors and systems, especially across a business, promises big efficiency gains and new insights. As such, the IoT and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) have become a launching pad for digital transformation — not only for individual organizations but for entire industries. There are implications for physical security, however, as connecting more devices to IT networks makes both more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Here are best practices on how to bring all your organization’s IoT/IIoT data together to generate meaningful outcomes while mitigating cybersecurity risks. Terms Clarified: IoT and IIoT The IoT is a networked ecosystem of devices that connect and exchange data with each other over the Internet or other networks. While IoT generally relates to consumer-connected devices, IIoT is focused on device connectivity across a business to facilitate monitoring and support operations. Today, many organizations are implementing IIoT strategies to achieve specific business outcomes. Some are merging VMS and access control systems with lighting and HVAC solutions to enhance automation, […]
