80% of ANZ operational systems hit with a cyber attack in the past year
A recent survey has found that with an average financial impact of $2.04m, cyber attacks on OT systems in ANZ have been twice as costly as the global average. [ + ]
Operational cost reduction in automation
Cutting operational costs in automation means analysing each application's real cost drivers and assessing total lifecycle cost. [ + ]
Why quantum is our next big bet after AI
Equating 'quantum' with only 'quantum computing' risks missing out on the benefits of quantum technologies that are almost here. [ + ]
Critical industries need to know how to isolate, rather than ignore
It is time for critical infrastructure organisations to act on ASD's warnings about nation-state actors quietly pre-positioning themselves inside their networks. [ + ]
Closing the gap: rethinking the middle ground for logic solvers in safety instrumented systems
This gap between 'too simple' and 'too much' has often been a persistent headache in functional safety design. [ + ]
Muting in practice: when safety becomes a vulnerability
Designed to allow objects to pass through safety barriers in factories, muting can also introduce new safety risks if not implemented correctly. [ + ]
From smart sensors to autonomous factories: why the next decade of AI will transform industry
Ten years ago, most industrial sensors were designed to perform one task exceptionally well, but now that model is rapidly changing. [ + ]
