Software-based PLCs pose challenge to traditional hardware infrastructure
[…]By Sharmila Annaswamy, IoT Analytics.
Software is increasingly replacing hardware in industrial environments. Software-based programmable logic controllers (Soft PLCs) today are reliable, powerful and flexible.
Soft PLC adoption is expected to double between 2019 and 2025, posing an “innovator’s dilemma” for incumbent industrial automation vendors.
Actions taken by incumbents will prevent significant disruption in the near-term, but the long-term threat of soft PLCs will remain.[…]

Should ‘secure’ solution vendors be excited at sales impact of US Senate’s IoT Cybersecurity Act?
[…] Knud Lasse Lueth, managing director at IoT Analytics GmbH tells IoT Now, “Government legislation, such as this Bill [IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act], can be a driving factor for improving IoT security. Our recent research suggests that there are at least 150 IoT security vendors on the market that may directly benefit from this bill. Right now, overall security spending for IoT projects is in the single digit percentage range of the total project costs, often below 1%. However, given the severe implications of a breach, it probably should be higher. And there should be an increased focus on aspects such as patch management, especially after the recent Mirai and WannaCry attacks on IoT devices.”
