Industrial systems across all industries are connecting devices and components that have historically not been connected.  Adding connectivity creates enormous opportunity from telematics and predictive maintenance to more intelligent operations.  However, adding connectivity adds exposure to network based attacks.  These industrial systems share common connection requirements of reliability, scalability, and now, security.  How are your software components connected?  Do you connectivity protocols meet your reliability, scalability, and security requirements?  

This presentation takes an in-depth look at Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications using the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standardized connectivity protocol from the Object Management Group (OMG), with a focus on secure data communications.  DDS is a proven, mature protocol, with over 10 years of implementation history across military, industrial, medical, power, automotive, and IIoT industries. The DDS Security specification includes state-of-the art technologies for end-to-end secure data communications.

What attendees will learn:

  • Methods for securing connected devices
  • Benefits and Risks associated with connected systems
  • Benefits of using standardized middleware to connect systems
  • Features of the Data Distribution Service DDS standards

Who should attend:

  • Solutions Architects developing connected industrial devices and systems
  • Software and Systems Engineers building sophisticated distributed systems
  • Device manufacturers concerned with keeping connected devices secure
