Cyber Security

The new C877 from Aitech provides one of the most powerful combinations of data processing and cyber security available in a 3U VPX single board computer (SBC). Based on independent research and data analysis, it was specifically designed for rugged, high reliability, mission-critical environments that need high levels of data security and peak processing performance.

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) has confirmed it will integrate the widely used ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards into its forthcoming Common Regulatory Framework on Cyber security (CRF). The CRF will serve as an official UN policy position statement for Europe.

Today the IIoT infrastructure has encountered increasing cyber security threats due to the vulnerability by the use of public networks for IT/OT convergence. This has exposed exploitable opportunities for hackers. To add confidence in industrial control system (ICS), Lanner presents LEC-6041, the next-generation industrial cyber security gateway.

With the recent implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by the European Union (EU) and a steady stream of news about data privacy, it’s no surprise that a SAS survey found that US consumers are increasingly concerned about their personal data. Of 525 US adult consumers surveyed, almost three-fourths (73%) said their concern over the privacy of personal data has increased in the past few years.
