A substation control network does not get a maintenance window because an auditor is coming. That tension sits underneath every conversation about NERC CIP compliance in the energy sector. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical...
Manufacturing accounted for 27.7% of all cyberattacks tracked worldwide in 2025, making it the most targeted industry for the fifth consecutive year, according to IBM’s X-Force threat intelligence team. The concern for manufacturers is not just what happens...
What does “Made in USA” actually mean when it comes to industrial computers? The FTC uses computers to illustrate an important point: where a product is assembled is only part of the story. A system built in a U.S. facility can still contain significant...
Fourteen documents carry the IEC 62443 name. An engineer who reads all of them still will not know which ones are theirs, and that is where most industrial cybersecurity programs stall. The technical content is readable. Working out which obligations land on your...
A fan is the single moving part standing between your industrial computer and a maintenance call it didn’t need to have. On a clean office desk, that’s a minor inconvenience. On a plant floor coated in flour dust, cutting fluid, or metal shavings,...
OT vs IT cybersecurity gets treated as the same discipline far too often, and that mismatch is exactly why so many well-intentioned security rollouts stall out or, worse, shut down a production line they were supposed to protect. Operational technology (OT), the...
An industrial control system, or ICS, was built to do one job well. That job is keeping a physical process running safely and without interruption. For most of the last fifty years, that job had nothing to do with networking, and neither did ICS security. The...
An industrial PC is built to survive exactly what kills a standard desktop tower on a plant floor. Dust cakes the intake fan until it seizes. A forklift’s vibration works a memory module loose. A summer without air conditioning pushes the CPU past its rated...
See DYNICS in Action with Partners, AnyLog! The future of Industry 4.0 isn’t theoretical; it’s operational. And there’s no better place to see that in action than the ProveIt! Conference 2026, hosted by the Proveit Association in Dallas, Texas. Taking place...
The New Reality of Operational Technology Operational Technology (OT) environments are no longer isolated systems humming quietly on the factory floor. With the rise of industrial connectivity, cloud analytics, and IT/OT convergence, they’ve become part of a much...
