“Untouched since the ice age” is not a marketing slogan, but a fact – a real piece of the ice age that still exists today: When the ice melted, immense amounts of water drained away into the rock of the Swabian Alp mountains. The earth shifting in an unusual way then caused this reservoir to be sealed off approximately 400 meters below the outside world. Since then, heavy layers of impermeable stone have prevented rainwater from seeping through to the reservoir and have protected it from all the environmental influences of our time.

The trend towards ever more complex video systems with more and more cameras continues unabated – and with it, the requirements for video management software are changing fundamentally.
Today, the average security operator jumps between six different security applications, often trying to manage more than 20 system events and alarms at once. Learning the ins and outs of each system, remembering response protocols, and keeping each system maintained and cyber secure add to the mounting stress that security operators face today.
“Until recently, AI-powered security used to be reserved for enterprises and other large organizations with large budgets – but no longer. Now, small businesses can also harness the power of AI to improve your security, save time, and reduce costs – thanks to Hikvision’s AcuSense technology,” says Kevin You, Product Management Director at Hikvision.
Moxa Inc., a leader in industrial communications and networking with a focus on securing industrial networks, has introduced the new EDR-G9010 Series.
Although the Internet of Things (IoT) has enjoyed explosive growth in recent times, it’s still a relatively recent concept. It is based around the idea of connecting any devices or objects that incorporate electronics, software or sensors, with the aim of collecting and exchanging data. Over the past few years, IoT has spread like wildfire, and shows little sign of slowing down. However, the component manufacturer Omron points out that this rapid increase in the number of devices or end points for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) also means that there is a correspondingly higher risk in terms of security.
In February 2021, an unidentified intruder gained access to the network systems of a US water treatment plant in Oldsmar, Florida, and briefly altered the chemical levels in the drinking water. Fortunately, an employee noticed the intrusion attempt and acted immediately. This incident sparked many discussions on the topic of cybersecurity in operational technology (OT) environments within the media and the industrial sector.
Even in times of crisis, most machines in the German industry run in chord. And demands regarding productivity, flexibility and efficiency are constantly growing. For many mechanics, electricians or technicians on the factory floor, this means: if a machine switches off for safety reasons, the clock begins to tick. But restart does not always go smoothly.
Detecting hazardous substances in the smallest concentrations and measuring them precisely is a major challenge, and not only for industry.
