    The rise of industry 4.0 is revealing a lot of networks that need some help. 

    Network World reported, "The researchers say a smarter, unique, and organic infrastructure needs to be developed for the IoT and that simply adapting the IoT to traditional networks won't work. They say services must self-organize and function autonomously and that people must accept the fact that we are using the internet in ways never originally intended."

    What does this mean for your business?

    It might mean some updates for your network or some creative strategies. Definitely keep cybersecurity in mind and make sure that any new technology you add will be supported by your network.
