The 33-page Data Protection Best Practices paper covers adjacent data protection domains – for example, data security, data integrity, data privacy and data residency. Failure to apply appropriate data protection measures can lead to serious consequences for IIoT systems, such as service disruptions, industrial accidents and data leaks that can result in significant losses, heavy regulatory fines, loss of IP and a negative impact on brand reputation. The White Paper is intended to help ensure data security, privacy and trustworthiness. http://b.link/protection29 Catalogue includes examples of how to select drive systems
