Understanding Industrial Internet of Things IIoT

The Industrial Internet of Things IIoT refers to networked sensors, actuators, controllers, and analytics platforms applied to industrial settings such as manufacturing, energy, and utilities to optimize operations and enable predictive maintenance. IIoT bridges operational technology with IT systems, expanding the attack surface by connecting once-isolated control systems to enterprise and cloud networks. Securing IIoT requires segmentation, strong authentication, and protocol-aware monitoring to protect both data and physical processes.
