Abstract

This paper discusses the security challenges and inherent risks that result from the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 within the context of digital transformation. It discusses the explosive growth of devices and data, lack of standards, and ubiquitous adoption without due understanding of the need to consider the shift in implications. IoT and Industry 4.0 will accelerate the convergence of cloud, legacy IT and Operational Technology (OT) security. Securing data will be an organisational imperative, as will a topdown approach to information security from governance to the individual, one that ensures it is a business enabler aligned to wider business strategy. Businesses will be driven by the potential rewards offered by adopting IoT and this paper offers insights into achieving them securely.
