As industrial organisations accelerate their digital transformation journeys, the very instruments that underpin measurement and analytics – sensors, flowmeters, chromatographs, analysers – are rapidly becoming core cyber-risk assets. Once largely isolated, these devices are now deeply connected, feeding critical process data into remote systems, optimisation platforms and cloud infrastructure. That connectivity, however, requires careful consideration and adherence to security best practices.
