How IIoT is changing cybersecurity as we know it and how IEC62443 can aid secure adoption and implementation Fireside Chat with Andres Suazo of Phoenix Contact
Analysts have long predicted that Internet of Things (IoT) technology will become a fundamental element for any business transformation. IoT’s disruptive impact will have a profound influence on all sectors, especially industrial IoT (IIoT). However, an imminent mass adoption and deployment of IIoT devices (along with their corresponding software, services, and platforms) in Smart Manufacturing creates cybersecurity challenges that OT engineers and IT departments might not be ready to face.
IIoT blurs the boundaries of the physical and digital worlds. These devices will become the fundamental basis of data communications, exponentially multiplying the number of cybersecurity risks and increasing the scope of vulnerabilities for manufacturing facilities.

About Ira Sharp
I have a passion for all things tech., am a marketer at heart, an educator by nature.
I am an accomplished 15+ year leader of sales and marketing teams, brand developer, marketing strategist, and IIoT thought leader.
As a sales and marketing leader, I have launched 20+ new products and technologies. Through this experience, I have an extensive understanding of market evaluation, channel development, product pricing, persona development, sales goal setting, budget & campaign management.
A recent example is PLCnext, an “open” control system for the industrial market, which is different from the status-quo PLCs in a market that is slow/ resistant to change. The PLCnext product has grown well above expectations despite being a new product with a new approach in a very conservative market.
As a brand developer, I have aided in the development of multiple “Personal Brands” in addition to various product brands focused on the Industrial Automation, manufacturing, and process markets.
