The Importance of Keeping IIoT Gateways Up-to-date

IIoT gateways act as a gate or bridge between OT devices and the cloud in IoT and IIoT applications. Since they often need to process the bulk of ingress and egress data, they are more exposed to cybersecurity threats than other devices. For this reason, it is extremely important to keep your IIoT gateway software up-to-date to ensure sustainability, performance, and security.
Moxa IIoT gateways are designed for long-term operation. The gateways come with a rich variety of Moxa proprietary utilities, libraries, and tools to accelerate your IIoT application development. Gateway models that use the Moxa Industrial Linux (Debian 9 based) operating system have a 10-year software life-cycle, which offers five more years of fixes for both bugs and security vulnerabilities than the standard Debian OS.
