Keeping track and the monitoring of data – The Network of Things
As network infrastructure and network monitoring spreads across multiple sites, data centres, servers and client devices, keeping track of the data which traverses it can become more complex and time consuming. Yet having detailed insight into exactly what information is being transmitted, and how it affects application, system and service performance, is a crucial business metric that cannot be overlooked.
The Industrial IoT (IIoT) is spreading across multiple verticals, but organisations must make sure their network and security infrastructure is up to the job.
Though still at a relatively early stage of its development, the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is on the cusp of rapid and large scale expansion. Public and private sector organisations are discovering new ways for connected devices, real time data collection and analysis to help them improve existing processes and operations.
Effective protection of IoT devices will require multiple layers of security, including the network level.
The Internet of Things has been described as a ticking time bomb for data security, with every company involved in the long and complex delivery chain still scratching their heads on the best approach to defusing it.
