More and more devices are connecting to industrial networks. The IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) cannot be stopped. Is your network ready? With these 5 steps, you can prepare your network to support IIoT and stay one step ahead of your competitors!

Evaluate

First of all, we advise you to perform a cybersecurity assessment. This process reveals the weaknesses, allows priorities to be established and actions to be coordinated. 

Migrate and update

Make sure your network is running on Ethernet. If this is not yet the case, do what is necessary to migrate the technology. If you already have an Ethernet infrastructure, make sure that you perform the necessary updates in good time. 

Network mapping

Map your network so you can see at a glance whether everything is correctly segmented into zones and what their physical connections are. See where wireless technology can be integrated. Think 'outside the box'! 

Monitor

Keep an eye on your network at all times! Real-time tools can help you with this. They know what is going on in your network at every moment, alert you when necessary, and enable you to take action before any problems arise. 

System security

Make sure your network remains secure! Take the necessary security measures at every level of your network, including the device level. Start with the most critical assets of your company and work downwards.
