Dear Friends and Colleagues, this issue of the Security & Insights newsletter focuses on cybersecurity and the convergence of devices and networks. The convergence of the Internet of Things, industrial control systems (ICS), operational technology (OT), and information technology (IT) has revealed vulnerabilities and expanded attack surfaces. They are prime targets for hackers, who frequently look for unprotected ports and systems on internet-connected industrial devices. Because they provide several avenues of entry for attackers and because older OT systems were not built to withstand cyberattacks, IT/OT/ICS supply chains in continuous integration (CI) are especially vulnerable. Below is a collection of articles that address the challenges and threats of cybersecurity for connected devices and people.

Thanks for reading and stay safe! Chuck Brooks

Robotics is now revolutionizing numerous industry sectors through the integration of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and reinforcement learning, as well as advances in computer vision that empower robots to make complicated judgments.

Industrial automation in factories and warehouses has been the main emphasis of robotics for many years because of its efficiency and affordability. These settings are usually regulated, organized, and predictable. Consequently, industries like manufacturing, agriculture, warehouse operations, healthcare, and security have utilized robotics to automate mundane programmable tasks.

Robotics in those and many other industries are becoming more refined and capable with the contributions of new material sciences, and artificial intelligence tools. It now appears that with those advances, we are at the precipice of building functional, dexterous, and autonomous humanoid robots that were once the topic of futurist writing.
