These are the conclusions reached by Barbara, which presents research on cybersecurity in this sector. Forty percent of industrial organizations have already experienced at least one security incident in the last year, with the industrial and energy sectors being the most vulnerable.

The IoT device is by far the most vulnerable element in the entire security chain. And the main reason is the lack of firmware updates.

What differentiates the industrial world (OT) from the IT world and why is the feeling of insecurity increasingly high in industrial companies? The answer lies in the inability of industrial companies to update software and firmware.

Data Sovereignty is the ability of individuals, corporations or governments to decide how, for what purpose, and at what price third parties can use their data. In this sense, the energy market is currently the one that can benefit the most from a data sharing sovereignty environment.

IoT security is one of the biggest concerns for those responsible for innovation and digital transformation in large organizations. It is especially relevant in companies with critical assets such as electricity, water utilities, transportation, oil and gas due to their impact beyond business.

IoT Edge Computing has the potential to transform the energy industry through its ability to process large amounts of data in real time ultimately improving the operational safety and efficiency.
