In today's business landscape, the digital revolution has led to an unprecedented transformation, and at the epicenter of this evolution are Industrial Internet of Things devices (IIoT). These devices, skilled in collecting and transmitting data in real-time, have emerged as fundamental pillars, that drive operational efficiency and decision-making in industrial environments.From advanved sensors to smart sctuators, the network of IIoT devices implemented in the industrial fabric is improving the frontiers of connectivity, impacting the way companies design, implement, and manage their operations.In this article, we will learn about the role of these devices within Industry 4.0, analyzing how different types of architectures are implemented and how their communications protocols shape the future of the industry. 

The UN R155 and UN R156 regulations are of vital importance for vehicle cybersecurity. From July 2022, all car manufacturers that want to be type-approved must comply with both regulations, but from July 2024 this requirement will be extended to all new vehicles sold in the European Union, regardless of when the manufacturer obtained type-approval. One of the most important aspects of compliance with both regulations is the completion of a cybersecurity risk assessment of the vehicle, including all integrated components of the vehicle's supply chain. On the other hand, it also specifies how to incorporate cybersecurity from design, how to detect and respond to incidents, how to securely update vehicle software, etc. 

En la actualidad, el crecimiento de las plantas industriales ha provocado una incesante búsqueda en la mejora de la productividad de los procesos industriales. Esto ha llevado a la evolución de los dispositivos IIoT y, con ello, la emergencia de las pasarelas ICS. Estas se han postulado como puentes tecnológicos, tendiendo vínculos, puentes, entre los dispositivos instalados y la inmensidad de los entornos cloud. En este artículo descubrirás el papel central de estas pasarelas, descubriendo su función como facilitadoras esenciales en la convergencia de la ingeniería tradicional y la innovación en la nube.
