This Week’s Best Reads

How to Prepare Your Business and Team for an IIoT Initiative

When digitally transforming your company with IIoT, the only thing that’s more important than the technology itself is the people implementing and using the new systems on a daily basis. This article discusses how communicating upfront with employees and tapping into the right skill sets — internally and externally to your company — are the key ingredients to successful IIoT initiatives.

5 Misconceptions and Facts About IoT in Manufacturing

Many manufacturers still have some confusion about how IoT works and what launching a successful IIoT initiative would entail. For example, many manufacturers assume IIoT solutions are only for industrial titans. In fact, smaller manufacturers can actually leverage these technologies successfully.

Intro to Blockchain and Its Implications for IoT Security

Blockchain is as a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) distributed ledger forged by consensus and combined with a system for smart contracts and other assistive technologies. It could contribute to the task of strengthening IoT security. Nonetheless, given the socially-involved nature of blockchain technologies, numerous operational and regulatory hurdles would first need to be overcome for such security solutions to work.

Five Things We’re Reading

1—RCR Wireless: FirstNet reported that it surpassed the 600,000 connections mark. Notably, a majority of the growth comes from users who are new to AT&T.

2—Security Intelligence: The joke goes that the ‘S’ in IoT stands for ‘Security’. However, there are real strategies for making IoT solutions secure by design.

3—Enterprise IoT Insights: Ericsson announced the inauguration of its Global Artificial Intelligence Accelerator (GAIA) innovation hub in Montreal, Canada.

4—Smart Cities Dive: Lawmakers tackle safety and security issues with IoT devices, while an Internet Society survey said a majority of people find the devices ‘creepy.’
