Practical Industrial Internet of Things Security

Secured edge intelligence

The industrial edge plays a significant role in securely connecting and complementing cloud intelligence with on-premise operations. The edge layer may consist of one or more devices, such as a gateway to ingest high volume of time series machine data (for example, from temperature and pressure sensors), perform analytics on-site to remove unnecessary exposure of data, and offer low-latency controls for time-sensitive applications. An edge- and-cloud synchronized deployment model removes many limitations of a cloud-only IIoT strategy. It allows operators to push down security policies, analytics intelligence, and device models built in the cloud to the edge. Processing at the edge eliminates latency associated with ...
