Over the last 30 years, telecom operators in the US have spent more than $240B to acquire wireless spectrum. A goal of a radio access network (RAN) system is to extract the maximum spectral efficiency (bits/second/Hertz) possible, which translates into more capacity, stronger network resilience with fewer dropped packets…

Traditional safety which was built for structured environments can not work anymore as the spaces become more unstructured and robots move out of cages. AI-driven safety is the key. Marking a major milestone in the arrival of physical AI…

A new aggregation rule, a FedProx coefficient, a server optimizer setting, a SCAFFOLD variant, or a model architecture tweak may all look promising before an experiment starts. After the run finishes, the harder questions begin: Did the change actually improve the metric?
Informational and operational technology data have long been treated as separate domains.
But AI changed the game. Today, you need the capacity to regularly ingest OT data into your IT systems without a hitch. (Or a breach.) You risk being left behind as your competitors put all their data to work, or assume the risk of consistently importing data from the edge to your internal systems.
This problem is an immediate one for any company unwilling to be left behind in the AI era: If you want to take full advantage of AI, you need quick, ready access to relevant data. And if your physical operations have hit a snag, your digital tools need to be kept in the loop regularly.
The solution is not to build a host of custom scripts or depend on legacy FTP or SFTP solutions to bring data in from the edge. Those disparate tools can degrade, leak data, and fail during later, repeated OT data extraction runs.
Instead, engineers looking to free IT and OT data from their respective siloes are turning to a managed solution that offers strong encryption, continuous transfer monitoring, and the ability to fully audit every data handoff across the pipeline
Even more, OT systems — the Programmable Logic Controllers, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition platforms, and historian databases running protocols like Modbus and OPC UA — were designed for uptime rather than connectivity. In modern architecture, however, no operational data can be left behind.
Getting data out of these environments means working against a connectivity model that was never meant to support the polling frequency or authentication patterns that modern IT infrastructure expects. Adding to the challenge, the more tools you introduce to free the OT data, the more attack vectors they may open.
A breach at the OT boundary can affect the physical systems those networks control. That’s a risk calculus most IT security frameworks weren’t built to handle.
On at 12 p.m. Eastern/9 a.m. On Tuesday, June 23, Fortra’s Jerrod Foster & Michael Barford will join The New Stack to discuss IT and OT systems, why extracting operational technology data is challenging, and how Fortra GoAnywhere MFT can resolve both data movement and data security issues that many engineers face today.
The post How to get operational data off the factory floor without creating an IT breach appeared first on The New Stack.

In most vehicles on the road today, in-vehicle assistants still rely on fixed command-response patterns: interpret a phrase, trigger an action, reset. While effective for well-defined tasks, this approach doesn’t scale to modern…

Regulatory boundaries, data sovereignty rules, and organizational risk tolerance routinely prevent centralized aggregation. Meanwhile, sheer data gravity makes even permitted transfers slow, expensive, and fragile at scale.
