Top 5 insider facts of highly effective IoT strategies

by 13.11.2019

Organisations require effective IoT strategies to make adequate progress in an increasingly competitive business environment. However, barring some exceptional companies, there are stories of IoT failures galore. Successful managers and CTOs know of several secrets of the internal workings of the Internet of Things, which allows them to maximise profits while ensuring superior ROI.

2019 was an exceptional year for all IoT-driven technologies. The new decade also promises unlimited potential for future adopters. Scott Sandler, who is Rockwell Automation’s chief Cloud Technologies Manager, has stated that IoT managers will be agents of change in this decade. Rockwell is widely accepted as a pathbreaker in such fast-moving technologies.

To stay ahead of the curve, your organisation needs to stay abreast of the following points.

IoT insider secrets

Here are some tips which experts often rely on.

  1. Creating a distinct IoT department is necessary

To have greater chances of success in the long run, an organisation cannot rely on a generalised IoT workload. There has to be an in-house department which takes care of these new technological advances. This is what General Electric or GE has done successfully. They are currently pursuing their ambitious next-gen jet engine technology and the giant organisation claims that they will have an increased investment in IoT by up to US$ 60 trillion within 2 decades. It would have been nearly impossible had they not possessed a specialised IoT unit.

  1. Defining IoT roles is essential

Each person working as a team-member in the greater scheme of things must know what his or her role is, and must be trained accordingly. IoT has several components including video analytics, process and predictive analysis, and superior R&D prowess. Each of these job roles requires a separate skill-set and varying training method. These must be properly defined first.

  1. Security is paramount

Creating a secure IoT universe is crucial because the chances of cyber-attacks and data theft are on the rise. The security infrastructure has to be tamper-proof. Studies conducted by HP have showcased that almost 70 per cent of IoT devices are prone to attacks and security breaches. If your organisation is looking to make the leap, it has to create a secure environment first.

  1. Third-party IoT expertise can be useful

The standards of IoT are still mostly in development and deployment phases. It may not always be possible for a smaller organisation to keep up with the advantages and advancements. Outside sourcing of expertise may thus become a necessity. The outside partner will provide the technical expertise in lieu of payments. It is just like standard outsourcing, except that the vendor must be chosen with a lot more caution in this instance.

  1. It is difficult to always predict the future

You will find that the Internet is replete with a plethora of articles and data which apparently dissect the future potential of IoT. However, given the unpredictable nature of the technology, any prediction may eventually prove wrong. With more devices joining the ecosystem, the variables involved are also more numerous. Thus, a certain degree of caution must be maintained whenever a new feature or service is added.

Merely aiming big with IoT is not nearly enough. The implementation of the ideas will decide how well the organisation fares in 10-15 years, especially in the emerging technologies sector.

Identity and Access Management:

Identity and access management (IAM) is a set of business processes, policies, and technologies that make it easier to manage electronic or digital identities. Information technology (IT) managers can control user access to critical information within their organizations by implementing an IAM framework.

Single sign-on systems, two-factor authentication, multifactor authentication, and privileged access management are examples of IAM systems. These technologies also enable the secure storage of identity and profile data, as well as data governance functions to ensure that only necessary and relevant data is shared.

What is the significance of IAM?

Businesses and IT departments are under increasing regulatory and organizational pressure to safeguard access to corporate resources. As a result, they can no longer assign and track user privileges using manual and error-prone processes. IAM automates these tasks while also allowing for granular access control and auditing of all corporate assets on-premises and in the cloud.

IAM, with its ever-expanding set of features such as biometrics, behavioral analytics, and AI, is well suited to the rigors of the new security landscape. For example, IAM’s tight control over resource access in highly distributed and dynamic environments aligns with the industry’s transition from firewalls to zero-trust models, as well as with IoT security requirements.

While IT professionals may believe that IAM is only for larger organizations with larger budgets, the technology is available to businesses of all sizes.
