Wind River Advances Industrial IoT with Secure Device Lifecycle Management

October 3, 2017

Industrial IoT (IIoT) can only generate value for customers if connected devices are actively monitored and managed. To ensure these devices are secure, operational, and performing at the highest possible level, device management should be designed in as part of an IoT system architecture from the start, as it is a key IoT enabler and critically important component in IoT deployments today.

According to IDC, 85% of existing embedded industrial devices are not presently connected. With only a small fraction of the market currently benefiting from IIoT, there is a significant amount of work to be … Read More → "Wind River Advances Industrial IoT with Secure Device Lifecycle Management"
