There are many myths concerning Industrial IoT (IIoT). Some manufacturers think they need to hire a data scientist to operate the equipment or that implementing IIoT will take a long time. However, the biggest myth is that choosing a new system is or should be a technical decision. Manufacturers should not implement new technology just […]
Businesses are eager to leverage their network connection capabilities to gain market leadership. The potential rewards from leveraging wireless connectivity are endless, says Ankur Bhan, global head of Nokia’s Worldwide IoT Network Grid (WING). It enables real time collection, analysis and interpretation of data that could, if handled correctly, make every corner of a business or industry […]
The healthcare sector has been modernising at a fast pace over the years by utilising new technology in carrying out medical activities with increased accuracy.

The breach of SolarWinds and its Orion Platform software captivated our collective attention in the final weeks of 2020. While arguably it was, and continues to be, considered the most significant event of the year, it is not the attack path most organisations should fear. As Satnam Narang, staff research engineer at Tenable says,while backdoors in cybersecurity software […]
Whether one is dealing with a manufacturing plant or a smart city, the architecture of a distributed Internet of Things (IoT) system depends on several design considerations, says Ingo Freise, software architect at Deutsche Telekom. One is the ability to combine legacy sub-systems, such as a final-assembly cell, with greenfield deployments such as an image […]
The first rule of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is that communications will fail. One challenge is rising volumes of data place increasing loads on both the main server and the communications networks connected to it. Here, Craig Abbot, sales manager for the Asia region at Ovarro, explains why remote telemetry units (RTU) are […]
I often talk about the “new product mindset” the importance of developing products and services with the cumulative lifetime value they will generate in mind, compared to just the immediate value delivered on launch day. In the rapidly evolving technology landscape, says Jason Shepherd, VP of Ecosystem at ZEDEDA, competitive advantage is based on innovating […]
For years various industries have been restricted in their ability to process big data sets due to the limited bandwidth available for use in national infrastructure. Yet, the advent of 5G and fibre optic techniques that have expanded capability up to 800G have changed everything. The days of processing at a centralised data centre are […]
Forescout researchers have discovered vulnerabilities in multiple TCP/IP stacks in which ISNs (Initial Sequence Numbers within TCP connections) are improperly generated. This is leaving devices’ TCP connections open to attacks. In a recent assessment, Forescout researchers analysed 11 total stacks: uIP, FNET, picoTCP, Nut/Net, lwIP, cycloneTCP, uC/TCP-IP, MPLAB Net, TI-NDKTCPIP, Nanostack, and Nucleus NET. Improperly […]
With the UK going into its first financial recession since 2009 as a consequence of COVID-19, many businesses are struggling to stay alive in the current business climate. Without the right technology and continuity processes in place, organisations were unable to adapt their models quickly enough to survive when they needed to. Now it’s a […]
