In this chapter, you have seen the evolution and adoption of Industry 4.0 and how it has affected the cybersecurity landscape of IoT/OT devices. There are multiple approaches to adopting secure practices for the IoT or OT that organizations can take, and we have discussed some of the best approaches.
