Why the IIoT Is So Vulnerable to Cyberattacks
The EE Times reports seeing a growing number of attacks both on industrial control systems (ICS) and on the operational technology (OT) side of the industrial IoT (IIoT). Why are these attacks increasing in frequency? Both ICS and OT specialists at major cybersecurity solution providers weighed in on the topic. Read what they had to say in the full article.
Thousands of hot tubs can be hacked and controlled remotely, reinforcing the view that “Consumer IoT security is not in a good place,” according to Ken Munro, founder of Pen Test Partners. Researchers found that information found on public resources could enable hackers to hijack hot tubs. Read the full BBC story.

Grand Opening of Intel FPGA Innovation Center, December 19
SecureRF was in Chongqing in December to celebrate the grand opening of the Intel FPGA Innovation center as a featured Intel Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) partner. Intel China’s president and 400 customers and media were in attendance where SecureRF demonstrated a unique security solution, developed for Intel’s Industrial IoT group, that addresses installed industrial IoT devices that have little or no protection today. This event, including SecureRF’s participation, received significant media attention, including television coverage.
