William Ruh: What the Rise of Industrial Internet Means for Cyber Security

William Ruh GE
October 23, 2014
Security isn’t what it used to be. Thirty years ago, it was a fence with a locked gate and a guard posted outside a data center. Today, it’s a multi-layered strategy encompassing people, processes, devices, sensors, machines, systems and networks.
 

As the world’s markets rapidly evolve into complex hybrids of physical and digital assets, cyber security is increasingly critical as a stabilizing force. It is no longer an esoteric art practiced mainly by rival intelligence agencies and giant corporations — it has become a basic necessity of everyday life for any business.

Trawling for Big Insight in the ‘Industrial Data Lake’

August 15, 2014
You’d need to hide yourself under a pretty large rock to avoid hearing about Big Data these days. From NASA to Netflix, organizations of all sorts and sizes are taking advantage of larger-than-life data sets to power everything from lunar modeling to color-pattern analysis.

Angling in the Data Lake: GE and Pivotal Pioneer New Approach to Industrial Data

August 11, 2014
GE and Pivotal said they built the first industrial-scale “data lake” system that could supercharge how companies store, manage and glean insight from information harvested from machines connected to the Industrial Internet.
The system, which has already tracked more than 3 million flights and gathered 340 terabytes of data, can analyze data 2,000 times faster than previous methods and cut costs tenfold. It is so powerful that it crunched through a complex task that would have taken a month to compute in just 20 minutes.
