James Penney, CTO, of Device Authority, says a well-structured, cloud-focused model makes it easier to handle rapid scaling and adapt to shifting regulations.

This remarkable growth shows how connected systems can transform industries such as manufacturing and transportation by boosting efficiency, promoting real-time data insights, and enabling more automated processes.

As manufacturing and mobility industries become increasingly reliant on these devices, they face a growing challenge: how to secure these IoT ecosystems against evolving cyberthreats without sacrificing operational efficiency?

Many organisations now rely on sophisticated digital architectures to link operational technology, industrial systems and IT environments.

This interconnection makes it difficult to protect every node in a network without a clear strategy and the right tools. Losing control of even a single device can lead to breaches that compromise data, disrupt production or endanger public safety. The growing popularity of Industry 4.0 further highlights the critical need for built-
