A discussion with Industrial Cybersecurity Pulse about edge devices and cybersecurity

Industry 4.0 and edge computing concepts are becoming more commonplace in a variety of industries. Data democratization is key for companies taking on their digital transformations. But along with these advancements come extra security risks.

As part of the ICS Pulse Expert Interview series, this discussion covers: 

  • The current state of industrial control security
  • Definition of industrial edge devices
  • OT vs. IT mindset and how edge devices can help bridge that gap
  • Edge devices and their effect on cybersecurity
