Four in five U.S. manufacturing facilities have zero automation — here's what's actually blocking AI adoption The majority of U.S. manufacturing facilities operate without any automation, but there is a strong interest in expanding AI capabilities. The main challenges hindering AI adoption are not financial constraints but rather issues related to data hygiene and cybersecurity. This story was produced through MarketScale. See how Industrial IoT teams put it to work with AI Visibility (GEO). Key facts, context, and what it means, in one minute. Key takeaways Most U.S. manufacturing facilities lack automation. Executives are interested in expanding AI capabilities. Data hygiene and cybersecurity are major barriers to AI adoption. Four out of five U.S. manufacturing facilities operate with zero automation, according to Manufacturing Dive, and that figure sits at the center of one of the widest gaps in American industrial technology. Most executives say they intend to expand AI within two years. Most plants have not started. The contrast is not primarily a funding story. Across the sector, the manufacturers that are actually deploying AI at scale share a common trait: they resolved something unglamorous before they bought a single platform. They fixed their data. The real barrier isn't budget NIST's Manufacturing Innovation Blog has documented a persistent readiness gap in U.S. plants: operational data is often siloed by machine vintage, collected inconsistently across shifts, and stored in formats that AI systems cannot readily ingest. IBM's industrial AI research reaches a similar conclusion, that data quality and infrastructure integration, not capital expenditure, are the most commonly cited obstacles once pilot projects stall. That dynamic plays out predictably. A plant invests in a predictive maintenance or quality-inspection AI tool, runs it against fragmented sensor data, and gets results that are not reliable enough to act on. The project gets shelved.

How to Choose CRA-Compliant eSIM and Secure Remote Management for Cellular IoT Products KigenKigen Cybercrime is no longer a background risk for connected products. It is an economic force. Cybersecurity Ventures has estimated that cybercrime would cost the world $5.5 trillion annually by 2025, a figure larger than the GDP of most major economies. That is the context behind the EU Cyber Resilience Act. CRA compliance is not only a European regulatory project. It is a signal to the global market that connected products must be designed, maintained, updated, and evidenced as secure throughout their lifecycle. For embedded developers and hardware manufacturers, the practical question is simple: how do you build a cellular product that can be trusted in the field, updated remotely, and supported with evidence when a vulnerability appears? At Hardware Pioneers Max 2026, manufacturers, connectivity providers, compliance specialists, and IoT developers discussed a common challenge: building products that can meet CRA requirements from launch through long-term operation. The consensus was clear: CRA compliance must be designed from the start. For cellular IoT products, one of the strongest starting points is eSIM. CRA applies to products with digital elements made available on the EU market. It changes the baseline for manufacturers, importers, and distributors by making cybersecurity part of product conformity. That means secure design, vulnerability handling, technical documentation, update support, incident reporting, and supplier evidence all become part of the product lifecycle. The dates matter. Reporting obligations for actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents begin in September 2026. The main obligations apply from December 2027. Cellular products often take years to move from architecture to prototype, pilot, certification, production, deployment, and support. A device designed today may still be shipping, connecting, and receiving updates well after CRA obligations are fully in force. The lesson is clear: if

Abstract The rapid growth of IoT and IIoT expands the cyber-attack surface of interconnected and safety-critical systems, and, as such, IDSs have become a fundamental security mechanism. Although very impressive results have been reported for machine learning and deep learning-based IDS in benchmark datasets, these gains often do not generalize to real-world deployments owing to dataset design limitations, realism deficits, and evaluation biases, rather than inherent flaws in detection algorithms, which can lead to significant vulnerabilities in actual operational environments. This study presents a dataset-centric review of widely used intrusion detection datasets from the IIoT, IoT, and traditional network domains. A unified taxonomy differentiates datasets based on the domain context, traffic representation, protocol semantics, and attack modeling assumptions. Based on a common analytical framework, each dataset was reviewed regarding its realism, coverage of the threats, class imbalance, temporal continuity, and modern ML/DL-based evaluation of the IDS. The cross-dataset analysis conducted in this study shows that, in addition to the fact that model architecture and feature engineering play a major role, several studies indicate that the simplicity of the datasets, the class imbalance, and the repetitive attack patterns as well as the evaluation methods can affect accuracy of the IDS. This work further underlines the remaining gaps, such as zero-day and adaptive attacks, limited encrypted traffic, weak temporal evolution, poor support for federated learning, and sparse annotations for explainable IDSs. Finally, this study presents future directions for dataset design aligned with the requirements of next-generation IDSs by highlighting digital twin-based IIoT environments, edge-cloud collaborative data generation, sequential traffic modeling, and explainability-oriented annotations that can ensure robust, trustworthy, and deployment-ready IDS solutions. 1 Introduction 1.1 Evolution of IoT, IIoT, and cyber-physical systems The IoT has revolutionized modern computing by allowing the interconnection of heterogeneous devices, including sensors, actuators, smart appliances, and embedded

End-of-life (EOL) industrial IoT devices create a growing cybersecurity challenge for operational technology (OT) environments. While these devices often remain functional, they pose significant and frequently overlooked security risks. When vendors no longer provide updates or support, critical infrastructure becomes vulnerable to emerging threats. Organizations need practical strategies to manage these risks without disrupting operations or compromising safety. Why EOL equipment creates vulnerabilities Using hardware and software without vendor support introduces vulnerabilities that attackers can actively exploit. Unlike traditional IT systems, OT security must account for unique performance, reliability and safety requirements that end-of-life devices cannot guarantee. These systems control physical processes where failures can lead to production shutdowns, equipment damage or worker injuries. The threat goes beyond theoretical concerns. The 2016 Mirai botnet attack weaponized IoT devices to disrupt major internet services and popular websites, demonstrating how attackers could turn consumer devices against critical infrastructure. Federal lawmakers responded by creating the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2020, which establishes strict security standards for federal IoT deployments. The legislation acknowledges that unsecured devices pose serious risks to military operations, healthcare systems and other essential services. Strategies for securing end-of-life IoT devices Organizations often cannot immediately replace every end-of-life device in their environment. Budget constraints, operational requirements and supply chain limitations force extended use of outdated equipment. The recognized set of best practices from the CIS Controls provides a defense-in-depth framework for securing industrial control systems when standard patching isn’t feasible. For strengthened security on EOL devices, teams can do the following. 1. Conduct a full asset inventory Organizations cannot protect assets they don't know exist. A comprehensive inventory documents every OT device and IIoT sensor on the network, including make, model, firmware version and network location. This baseline enables security teams to identify which devices have reached end-of-life status and

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard. Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences. At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000. Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040. Put another way, that’s roughly equal to: - 175 Teslas - 107 Amazons - 140 Metas - 84 Googles - 65 Microsofts - And 55 Nvidias And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy. It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide. Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential. How could anything be worth that much? The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

SALT LAKE CITY and COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 29, 2026 — Finite State, a leader in product security and software supply chain risk management, today announced that it has been named the winner of the 2026 IoT Industrial Solutions Award for the Product Security OS. The AI-native platform helps connected-device organizations continuously understand, prioritize and manage firmware and embedded software risk, including the long-lived operational environments that define industrial systems. Finite State was recognized for a practical, scalable approach to securing the embedded software, connected devices, industrial control systems and operational technology that must run reliably for decades. As software grows more deeply embedded across manufacturing, energy, logistics and critical infrastructure, visibility into deployed firmware and software components has become essential to keeping operations secure and compliant. Why Finite State won The Finite State Product Security OS provides deep visibility into firmware and embedded software through binary analysis, software composition analysis, reachability intelligence, vulnerability prioritization, compliance workflows and automated security reporting. Rather than relying on vendor documentation or manually maintained inventories, the platform analyzes deployed firmware directly to identify software components, hidden dependencies, vulnerabilities and operational risk. Beyond detection, Finite State connects that analysis to engineering, operations and compliance, keeping what is designed, deployed and operating in the field in alignment. Finite State's measurable results include: - 90% reduction in vulnerability triage noise through reachability analysis - More than 4.4 million unreachable findings eliminated across analyzed firmware environments since 2024 - Analysis times reduced from over four hours to less than one hour - 22× growth in monthly scans since 2024 as organizations adopted continuous monitoring approaches “Industrial organizations are increasingly dependent on software running inside connected assets that often remain deployed for decades,” said Jordan Hayes, IoThinkTank Awards coordinator. “Finite State stood out for helping operators understand what is actually

Security firm runZero has disclosed seven vulnerabilities in FatFs, a filesystem library used by numerous devices to read and write FAT and exFAT formats. These flaws, ranging in severity from medium to high, could allow attackers to corrupt device memory or execute their own code. The vulnerabilities were discovered using AI-powered fuzzing tools, highlighting a growing trend in security research, with further coverage provided by The Hacker News.The seven vulnerabilities in FatFs, a library embedded in firmware for devices like security cameras, drones, and industrial controllers, were found to be reachable through malformed USB drives, SD cards, or firmware update files. The most critical flaw, CVE-2026-6682, is an integer overflow during FAT32 volume mounting that can lead to memory corruption and code execution. Other high-severity bugs include buffer overflows related to volume labels and long filenames. Medium-severity issues involve data corruption from math wraps in cache handling and a divide-by-zero error in exFAT that can brick devices. The library's maintainer has been unresponsive to requests for fixes, leaving downstream vendors responsible for patching their products.Affected platforms include Espressif ESP-IDF, STM32Cube, and Zephyr, impacting consumer IoT, industrial gear, and crypto wallets. While no attacks have been reported, proof-of-concept exploits are publicly available, and runZero advises users to treat physical ports and update channels as potential attack surfaces.Source: The Hacker News Get daily email updates SC Media's daily must-read of the most current and pressing daily news You can skip this ad in 5 seconds
