Cybersecurity in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a pressing concern, with critical infrastructure such as energy grids and telecom networks being prime targets for cyberattacks. To stay ahead of bad actors, organizations must adopt real-time monitoring, automated threat detection, and compliance-driven security measures. InfluxDB can help by enabling efficient time series data management, enhancing visibility, and streamlining incident response, particularly in edge computing environments where data is transmitted securely and synced between edge devices and central systems. A proactive cybersecurity strategy ensures IIoT systems remain secure, resilient, and adaptive in an interconnected world. Key takeaways include securing device access, network protection, 24x7 monitoring and alerts, leveraging machine learning, conducting security audits, securing data transmission, and more.
