AGOURA HILLS, Calif., July 20, 2018—Digitalization in the factory, intelligent Edge and how to best protect the network for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are topics of the next Drive Forward Webinar, this time co-presented with 451 Research. The webinar will take place August 16, 10 a.m. CST; 4 p.m BST.

If your business is involved in discrete manufacturing, process industry, transportation and logistics, retail, health care, utilities or energy and natural resources, then you are–or will soon be–adopting Internet of Things (IoT). This brings new challenges for managing IT networks.
