Gartner predicts that approximately 49 billion IoT devices will be connected in 2021 and that number will continue to increase for the foreseeable future. Even if just a very limited percentage of those devices are Industrial IoT (IIoT) devices controlling or monitoring industrial processes like manufacturing, the sheer number and the pervasiveness of IIoT will most likely lead to an increase in security incidents.
Proof of this growing risk is seen in the number of reported ICS vulnerabilities, which increased by over 224% from 2017 to 2018. Traditional security solutions are not built to secure these environments,…
