But in an increasingly digitally connected society, Tzitzis believe that IoT, CPS, AI & Cybersecurity are due to re-define our present and future. “The amount of connected objects has been growing steadily and we can now really use the word ubiquitous. However, we were only scratching the surface of the data & insights potential of IoT for the last 5-10 years but 2025 is shaping to be a turning point, especially for IioT and CPS. There are projections of 75 billion Cyber Physical System (CPS)-connected devices by the end of 2025 and their integration with AI capabilities is set to usher us in an unprecedented era of intelligence and efficiency in multiple sectors.
The next phase of AI-powered CPS evolution will bring in a range of improvements based on Edge AI, Intelligent decision-making and automation, Collaborative robots and more. This next phase of CPS evolution not only requires enhanced CTEM capabilities but also demands platforms that unify operational risk management, compliance, and real-time automation to drive not just security but operational excellence.”
