 Key Questions: 

What are the biggest challenges that utilities face in managing waste water infrastructure? 

How can utilities use waste water data and machine learning to understand population health trends?  

How can legacy software and hardware be integrated into a modern connected system?  

How can data analytics make a circular water cycle possible and preserve water in arid regions? 

Our guest today is Roy Dagan, CEO of SecuriThings. We explored the challenges companies face in securing IoT devices and understanding their performance. We also tapped into the increasing importance of automation and analytics for securing and tracking large fleets of devices.

SecuriThings is a platform that provides real-time security and operational efficiency to improve system availability, organizational compliance, and cyber security. SecuriThings redefines the way organizations manage and secure their IoT devices at scale.

Key Questions:

• Where are we today in our ability to secure large and diverse fleets of devices?
• How does securing an IoT device differ from securing a traditional IT system?
• How can you translate device data into accurate assumptions about security threats or operating problems?
• Is there a need for human intervention in the loop? Or can security operations be automated with sufficient training data?
• How can better device awareness lead to improved operational performance and ROI?

How can industrial organizations optimize AI’s potential to build powerful operational capabilities? Leveraging their existing domain expertise is the key. Aitomatic helps companies level up their AI’s competitive edge by combining human and artificial intelligence.  

In this episode, we sat down with Christopher Nguyen, CEO and Co-Founder of Aitomatic, a knowledge-first app engine for industrial IoT that assists industrial companies in using their domain expertise to build more effective algorithms. We discussed why only 9% of manufacturers currently use AI in their business processes and how they can overcome data availability challenges. We also explored which use cases are best suited for a human-first AI development platform, and which work well with a traditional black box training approach. 

Key topics: 

• Why are we not seeing AI takeoff in the industrial sector as often as we see it in consumer markets? 
• What are the limits of modern AI solutions in enabling predictive and prescriptive analytics use cases?
• How can you manage the fundamental challenge of small data sets?
• How can your engineers and operators embed their know-how in an AI algorithm? 

In this episode, we discuss the status of the PATCH Act for healthcare device security and the threats that it aims to address. We also explore how AI can be used to track and secure large networks of IoT devices that are impossible to manage with traditional security approaches.
