      How to secure industrial and factory automation systems and devices. Icon Labs contributed article at Automation.com.

       

      The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a ubiquitous term to describe the tens of billions of
      devices that have sensing or actuation capabilities, and are connected to each other via the

      insecure ways.
