The IoT is growing and now it's moving into the industrial space, said Graham Speake, senior ICS manager at Accenture, during a presentation at (ISC)² Security Congress held this week in New Orleans. As it does, security pros have to think about securing the data their systems handle.

The number of devices is increasing 10% each year, he continued, and the world is expected to have 20+ billion devices by 2020.
[...] the connectedness of ICS prompts important questions about security. In industry, for example, it's not unusual for components to have a lifetime of five to 30 years – far longer than average enterprise machines.

We don't yet have a clear idea of the threat landscape in industrial environments, Miller said. Most of our knowledge is anecdotal; there is no large dataset for ICS threats. The lack of data makes security a challenge: you can't allocate resources if you don't know what's targeted.
