IIoT cybersecurity is crucial for protecting SCADA systems and PLCs from ransomware, DDoS attacks, and supply chain threats. Zero trust and AI-driven security are key solutions.

Edge computing minimizes latency in IIoT by enabling real-time decision-making, improving efficiency, and ensuring system reliability in mission-critical industrial operations.

Real-time data processing is crucial for IIoT due to predictive maintenance, process optimization, and safety. CIoT, however, can rely on delayed processing without major impact.
