Security & Risk

Industrial IoT: Automation, Telemetry and Security Industrial IoT connects sensors, machines, and software to collect data, automate tasks, and improve safety. In a plant, smart sensors monitor pumps, conveyors, and valves and feed a live view of operations. The core ideas—automation, telemetry, and security—shape how modern facilities run, respond, and grow. Automation in practice Automation means fast, repeatable actions. Controllers and edge software adjust speed, align lines, and reduce idle time. In a packaging line, a jam is detected and the system slows or pauses automatically, then restarts after a safe check. This reduces downtime and protects workers. ...

Data Governance and Compliance in the Cloud Cloud environments bring speed and scale, but they also require steady governance and clear compliance rules. Data governance in the cloud means knowing what data you have, where it lives, who can access it, and how it is protected over time. A simple rule of thumb is to build around three pillars: visibility, policy, and assurance. Visibility starts with a modern data inventory and classification. Tag data by sensitivity, keep an up-to-date map of data flows, and note where data sits across regions and services. This helps identify risks like cross-border transfers or unencrypted backups. When teams can see the full picture, security decisions become practical rather than guesswork. ...
