With digitization and the move of most processes and data to the online world, having robust cybersecurity becomes imperative.

The implementation of renewable energies and an increasing and more disaggregated demand are some of the most remarkable transformations in recent years in the energy sector. IoT applications appear as the solution to achieve a more efficient and secure industry that provides benefits for companies and customers.

Industrial IoT devices enable companies to access valuable benefits, from automating industrial processes to optimizing resources or opening up new business opportunities. However, these benefits are only effectively accessible through efficient, remote and integrated device management.

More than half of the electronic devices manufactured in the world are already IoT, i.e. they are capable of communicating data over computer networks. The possibilities facilitated by IoT applications allow to go further in industrial maintenance; going from preventive maintenance to predictive and even prescriptive maintenance.

The energy sector is in a time of transition in which technology is playing an essential role, enabling changes in distribution models, the use of cloud models and marketing. In addition, the digital evolution has taken a step beyond telemetry, using IoT, which facilitates the optimization and automation of processes.

IoT devices have revolutionized the way we understand technology, both for individuals and businesses. However, IoT security remains, for many, an unfinished business.

The IoT has come for something so revolutionary as to change the business models of most companies. Its impact is going to be such that it will create new sources of revenue, new services and products, and will end up transforming all markets.

Blockchain has several applications and that’s why it seems to make sense that IoT and Blockchain take advantage of each other

The opportunity offered by the IoT is as great as the challenge posed by IoT security. The latter no longer depends only on the software we use, but also the hardware that we have.

The IoT arises from the possibility of connecting all types of devices to a network to collect data and analyze them. It is precisely this ability to open to the network what makes the devices somewhat vulnerable, as they become accessible remotely.
