Welcome to the next

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION.

When it comes to the smart enterprise,

the question is not IF, but WHEN.

START HERE

SECURE IOT LIFECYCLE

1. Assess the cyber-physical consequences

of connecting existing systems and creating

new endpoints

2. Establish secure IoT threat management

frameworks and processes to guide cyber

assurance efforts

3. Equip and enable architects, developers,

and users to practice IoT cyber hygiene

4. Continuously monitor and assess new

and emerging IoT attack vectors

5. Respond to any threats or vulnerabilities,

analyze impacts and develop best practices

for ongoing cyber defense

Why should you care about IoT solutions?

Internet of Things

• Not about the things

• Not about the network

• Not about being cutting edge

• Not about connecting everything

It’s about the data and the USAGE of the data.

12

Analytics is the ability to derive value

and actionable insights from one or

more data sets:

• Identify trends in the data

• Identify customer preferences

• Identify hidden patterns in the data

• Identifying anomalies in the data

Use the intelligence gathered to save money, increase productivity, create new revenue opportunities, build competitive advantages and improve processes/services.

It's not just about how much

data devices produce—which,

no doubt, is a lot.

It's about determining why—

i.e., identifying the reasons—

the data is important.

Lead your enterprise into the IoT era with

secure, mission-focused solutions that:

• Increase operational effectiveness

• Enhance citizen services

• Reduce energy waste

• Advance transportation safety and convenience

• Improve healthcare quality and service

• Save lives
