Conformity is everything in the fight against cyber-crime. Traditionally, the way to secure IT systems has been to “bring everything together, and keep everything the same”, remarks Senthil Ramakrishnan, lead member of technical staff at AT&T.
But the internet of things (IoT) confounds this...
The internet of things (IoT) has turned the industry’s traditional security model of isolationism on its head. Suddenly, devices and systems, until now segregated by physical locks and operational air-gaps, are easily accessible.
“In IT, servers are locked away in data centers where only...
The ‘internet of things’ (IoT) will usher in a fourth industrial revolution, and raise a storm. Manufacturing and distribution businesses anchored by old systems and processes will be drowned by the rising tide; those that transform their operations will catch a sail. But it...
