According to a new Cisco report, Internet of Things devices will grow faster than any other category of connected devices by the year 2020. A substantial number of these fall into the category of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Most of these IIoT products are likely to contain some level of encryption as security and privacy play a greater role going forward. With globalization, these ‘things’ can be designed, sourced, manufactured, and assembled in totally different countries; requiring robust supply chain mechanisms. This calls for a thorough scrutiny of the encryption content of products for export and import considerations as it might fall under the category of ‘Dual Use Goods’ (DUG). Improperly addressing these considerations can limit where the product is sold/shipped and thus negatively impact the revenues of an organization. Therefore, it is essential that project schedules allot sufficient time to complete these critical reviews. The main goal of this presentation is to highlight the issues most encryption- enabled IIoT products at traditional ICS/OT organizations encounter with a changing global regulatory environment. Unless the export-import process is well embedded into the global supply chain of an organization, these strategic considerations tend to be overlooked causing unnecessary delays/disruptions.
