In the contemporary industrial landscape, the convergence between Operational Technology (OT) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) represents the cornerstone of digital transformation. The connected ecosystem is transforming Industry 4.0.
Enterprise IT security is an increasingly complex challenge. The expansion of hybrid infrastructures, the rise of remote work, and the adoption of IIoT devices have made it harder to maintain complete control over the network, creating so-called blind spots: shadowy areas where threats can operate undetected for extended periods.
Enterprise networks are undergoing an unprecedented transformation. The rise of IoT devices, the expansion of hybrid work, and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats are putting traditional infrastructures to the test, often rendering them inadequate to address the challenges of a constantly evolving world.
If there is a common thread about networking among all companies, it is that most of the time it is taken for granted. Every day we share files, data, applications, and information, and we are so used to doing so through any device and from anywhere, that we underestimate how this sharing is made possible, at least until something goes wrong and everything then stops.
In a world where IT infrastructures are facing profound changes, companies must always find new ways to maintain control of their data, supporting a new era in which an indefinite number of devices connect to distributed IT resources from untrusted networks.
Gli incidenti informatici a danno delle aziende sono ormai all’ordine del giorno e riguardano tutti i settori, nessuno escluso. Every day new threats and vulnerabilities are discovered that, if not proactively managed, can become overwhelming. On the other hand, approaches to security are also constantly evolving, as are the frameworks, tools and techniques that can be used to minimize each company’s risk factor. However, it is often very difficult for IT managers to decide which way to go and where to focus their efforts, budget and resources.
Increasingly distributed IT infrastructures coupled with the increase in workloads performed outside the corporate perimeter have made possible a variety of different types of cyber attacks on a global scale. This trend has consequently prompted many companies to choose the Security Operation Center (SOC) as an integral part of their cybersecurity strategy. Normally, if larger companies have their own dedicated and internally managed department, SMEs choose to rely on an outsourced SOC that allows them to enjoy “entreprise” protection, unlike what they could arrange independently.
