Cybersecurity and the Industrial Internet of Things

Sectors like manufacturing, energy and transport are increasingly dependent on IIoT solutions. But although adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things can have many benefits for businesses, it also exposes them to another layer of cyber-threats, potentially putting people, products and processes in danger. For example, connected devices that support production lines or distribution could be prime targets for malicious software designed to interrupt operations. This Digital Dialogue, organized by Financial Times Live in partnership with Lloyd’s Register Foundation, will discuss the evolving impact of industrial cyberattacks on operational security, human safety, productivity and other crucial areas of business.
