"Mounting IIoT Cyber Risks Must Be Addressed Now to Prevent Catastrophe"

The speed and sophistication of cyberattacks on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) continue to grow. A report from Lloyd's Register Foundation, the U.K.-based global safety charity, suggests preventative security measures to address the increasing IIoT risks to energy, transport, manufacturing, and other critical infrastructure sectors. The report identifies key emerging risks and existing capability gaps that emphasize the insufficiency of the current pace of change in operational cybersecurity. Organizations are encouraged to address capability gaps by investing in forensic readiness processes, considering how security controls may fail as IoT devices increase, investing in training for staff on IoT standards, and more. This article continues to discuss the report's goal and its suggested actions for addressing rising IIoT cyber risks.
