Elektor Business Magazine (EBM) aims to establish a busy bidirectional link between the electronics industry and research institutions on the one hand and ambitious hardware and software developers in homelabs, startups and spinouts on the other. In fact the magazine is in place wherever solid guidance is required on a journey of high-tech inspiration.

The September & October 2016 edition of EBM covers Industry 4.0 in-depth, without losing sight of its broader perspective: the Internet of Things. First, some general insight is given into security issues, by far the hottest topic when it comes to IoT and Industry 4.0. That's why a second article explores security in-depth from an industrial point of view. Provided security is as robust as it can be, Industry 4.0 can be taken any step further, from installing specialized MES software to arranging specific yet affordable hardware.

Well-established names contribute to your knowledge base in this EBM: DigiCert (a Certificate Authority), Infineon (on hardware based security for Industry 4.0), Critical Manufacturing (on specialized software for Industry 4.0), and ARC Advisory Group (on specific hardware for Industry 4.0).
