The Internet of Things: Are Organizations Ready For A Multi-Trillion Dollar P...Capgemini
The Internet is expanding. And this is not just in terms of getting accessible to more people; it is expanding beyond humans. Machines are becoming connected. Machines are talking to humans, but increasingly, they are also talking to one another. And this interconnectedness of machines, or the Internet of Things (IoT), is a potential multi-trillion dollar market that organizations can now tap into.
However, do organizations realize the scale of the opportunity? Capgemini Consulting conducted an extensive survey of IoT products and services of over 100 leading companies across North America and Europe. We also spoke at length with several industry executives at companies developing IoT solutions to understand the challenges companies face. This article presents the results of the survey and highlights the key hurdles companies are facing.
Cisco has estimated that the Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to generate about $19 trillion of value over the coming years. The staggering potential size-of-the-prize has certainly caught the attention of the world’s business community. In a recent survey of senior business leaders around the globe, 96% said their companies would be using IoT in some way within the next 3 years. However, there is a catch – most organizations are yet to derive significant commercial value from IoT. Our research shows that 70% of organizations do not generate service revenues from their IoT solutions. We have looked at why organizations are falling short in monetizing the IoT, and have tried to capture some initial observations on monetization models in what is still a very fast-developing marketplace.

The document outlines some of the challenges of scaling up IoT initiatives, including dealing with large amounts of data, complex integration requirements, and ensuring solutions work across diverse physical environments. It provides recommendations for overcoming these challenges, such as focusing on underlying business problems, understanding how IoT can amplify value across a product's lifecycle, considering the physical context where devices will be deployed, and realizing that successful large-scale IoT initiatives require partnerships across different areas
Internet of Things: From Strategy to Action: Driving IoT to Industrial ScaleCognizant
This document discusses scaling Internet of Things (IoT) solutions from pilots to an industrial scale. It argues that full IoT value is not realized by connecting just a few devices, but rather by focusing on how these technologies can impact business strategies. To scale IoT solutions, organizations must address challenges like large numbers of devices, high volumes of data, security, and partner capabilities. Successful scaling requires understanding the business problem, how IoT amplifies value across a product's lifecycle, considering the physical environment, and realizing that an integrated approach from many partners is needed. The goal is for IoT systems to interact and become embedded in physical workplaces to drive business transformation.
IoT services are becoming crucial for both automotive enterprises and consumers. As the automotive industry shifts from a product-centric to service-centric business model, the connected car will function as a platform for various services. However, security is the main challenge to overcome as vehicles become more connected. Standards must be developed to securely interface connected vehicles while maintaining privacy. This transition allows automakers to develop continuous customer relationships beyond the point of sale.

The impact of the Internet of things on the automotive sector.
How will it change business models, broaden business opportunities and bring new services to consumers
What are the next challenges from security to customer relationships
This document discusses how cognitive computing can help realize the full potential of the Internet of Things (IoT). It notes that while early IoT applications are providing value, the vast majority of data generated by IoT devices is currently unused. Cognitive systems that can learn from large amounts of structured and unstructured data have the potential to extract much more insights from IoT data and enable more advanced IoT applications. The document outlines some key foundations for a successful IoT strategy and argues that cognitive systems like IBM's Watson platform can help address the data challenges of IoT by facilitating deeper human engagement, continuous learning, predictive capabilities, knowledge sharing and optimization of complex systems.
The document discusses the concepts of the Internet of Things (IoT). It defines IoT as connecting physical objects to the internet to communicate data and interact. The basic goal of IoT is to connect unconnected objects to improve efficiency and automation. Some key points discussed include:
- The genesis of IoT starting in 2008-2009 with Kevin Ashton coining the term.
- Examples of IoT applications including connected roadways using sensors in vehicles, connected factories using real-time tracking of production, and smart connected buildings using sensors to optimize HVAC and lighting.
- Convergence of IT and OT bringing together operational technology networks that monitor physical systems with traditional IT networks and data systems.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is actively shaping both the industrial and consumer worlds. Smart tech finds its way to every business and consumer domain there is — from retail to healthcare, from finances to logistics — and a missed opportunity strategically employed by a competitor can easily qualify as a long-term failure for companies who don’t innovate.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.

1. The Internet of Things: Are Organizations
Ready For A Multi-Trillion Dollar Prize?
2. 2
If you think of the Internet as a domain
driven solely by humans, think again.
Androids are the coming force. We are
talking of the Internet of Things (IoT) – a
world where sensors allow machines
to talk to one another. And, as with our
human-driven Internet, the IoT is a game-
changing, hugely significant opportunity
for the economy and business
organizations. Various research studies
have pegged the value of the IoT at
multiple trillions of dollars. Cisco1
and GE2
estimate that the size of the IoT pie is over
$10 trillion. Research firm IDC estimates
that, in 2020, over 40% of all data in the
world will be data resulting from machines
talking to one another3
. Estimates may
vary but the underlying message is loud
and clear – the value at stake is too large,
and the impact too wide-ranging, for any
hint of complacency.
But do organizations recognize the scale
of the opportunity? Are they prepared
to take advantage of the growing

wave of sensor data? In the following
pages, we assess the current state of
organizational readiness, examine why
many organizations seem slow to react,
and set out a roadmap for organizations
that are determined to succeed in this
next chapter of our ever-expanding digital
universe.
For Most Organizations,
These are Early Days in the
Adoption of IoT Solutions
Most organizations are still in the early
stages of adapting their offerings to the
new IoT world. Our research – covering
over 100 leading organizations in North
America and Europe (see Research
Methodology at end of paper) – revealed
that IoT solutions, defined as sensor-
enabled products offered in conjunction
with services, vary significantly in their
levels of sophistication (see Figure 1). The
basic start point is connected products
that generate alerts and notifications
basedonsensorreadings.Moreadvanced
solutions allow remote operation using
sensors. And the most mature solutions
allow organizations to use sensor data
to provide customers with high-value
performance improvement insights.
The majority of organizations provide
solutions that offer only a basic level of
functionality. Our research revealed that
less than 30% support remote operability
and fewer than 40% utilize sensor data to
offer performance improvement insights.
Delivery of alerts and
notifications on product status
Example:
Whirlpool’s smart appliances notify
users when a wash cycle is complete or
the refrigerator door is open, via a
smartphone app
Ability to be controlled and
configured remotely
Example:
GM’s OnStar system allows vehicle
owners to remotely lock and unlock their
car doors, and flash the horn and lights
through a smartphone app

Our study also revealed significant
differences across industries. For
instance, industrial manufacturing and
medical device companies are clearly
ahead of other industries in the maturity
of their IoT solutions. Utilities and auto
manufacturing firms offer basic levels
of functionality, but lag when it comes
to more advanced offerings. Insurance,
home appliance and pharmaceutical
companies lag behind other industries
in providing even basic functionality (see
Figure 2).
John Deere, a leading company in
agricultural machinery, is among the few
organizations that provide a full suite of
functionality spanning basic information,
remote operability as well as performance
improvement support. With its
PowerSight solution, for example, John
Deere gathers data from its customers’
connected equipment, generates
machine health alerts, allows equipment
to be remotely programmed, and goes a
step further by providing customers with
Less than 30% of

utilization and lowering operating
expenses4
.
Over Two-Thirds of
Companies Do Not
Monetize their IoT
Solutions
Early adopters of IoT solutions, such as
GE and General Motors, have shown how
connected products can be the platform
for service revenues. General Motors has
been a pioneer in the use of telematics
to create new revenue streams. With its
OnStar telematics system, the company
generates nearly $1.5 billion in revenues
annually, through several paid safety,
security and navigation services5
.
Similarly, GE launched its “Predictivity” line
of IoT services in 2012, to help industrial
customers manage the data from their
connected equipment. Within just a year
of launch, “Predictivity” generated $290
million in revenues for GE6
.

However, these two organizations are
the exception, and not the rule. Our
research indicates that less than 30% of
organizations generate service revenues
from their connected products. And
the concerns around monetization are
clearly top of mind for organizations. An
executive at a leading car manufacturer
we interviewed said, “Offering the
telematics hardware for free with the
car is not a sustainable option. We need
to have a clear strategy to generate
revenues from services7
.”
4. 4
Offering the telematics
hardware for free with the
car is not a sustainable
option. We need to have a
clear strategy to generate
revenues from services.
Only a small minority
of companies are
using acquisitions or
development of platforms
and APIs as a means
of building Internet of
Things capabilities.
Our research uncovered two monetization
models that are emerging in the IoT
solutions space. In the first model,
connectivity services are offered free for
a limited period of time and charged-
for subsequently through a tiered
mechanism. The idea is to allow the
customer to experience the service value
before migrating to a more regular tiered
package. For instance, Eaton, the US-
based power management major, offers
the “eNotify Remote Monitoring” service
that provides 24x7 remote monitoring of
connected Uninterrupted Power Supply
(UPS) systems8
. The service is offered
free for one year after product purchase,
but is charged for in subsequent years9
.
In the second model, organizations offer
multiple tiers of services, where each tier
is priced differently, based on the breadth
of services offered. For instance, John
Deere offers four different levels of remote
monitoring services under its PowerSight
range of telematics solutions10
.
Most IoT Solutions Do Not
Play Well With Third-Party
Products and Services
The integration of connected products
and sensor data with third-party solutions
enables organizations to enhance their IoT
solutions’ value. By integrating the service
with larger platforms, organizations
stand to tap into a larger ecosystem of
services that can significantly enhance
the customer experience.
A few industrial manufacturing and
automotive firms have taken initial steps
in connecting their offerings with third-
party services. For instance, German
manufacturing major Bosch offers
remote vehicle diagnostics services to
vehicle owners and dealers through its
telediagnostics system11
. To make the
service attractive and most effective for
the consumer, Bosch’s system enables
information exchange with third-party
services such as car workshops and
roadside assistance12
.
However, our research indicates that
less than 15% of organizations offer IoT
solutions that integrate with third-party
products and services.

but Other Options for

Unexplored
Developing IoT solutions often requires
capabilities that organizations do not
possess. Partnerships, acquisitions and
the opening up of platforms or APIs13
can quickly arm organizations with the
capabilities they need. Our research
indicates that close to 60% of
organizations are using partnerships as a
viable approach to develop IoT solutions,
with varying objectives (see Figure 3). An
executive at a leading security systems
firm provided affirmation of this approach,
saying, “We certainly see the need to
partner with Machine to Machine (M2M)
technology providers and data mining
specialists, as well as with our channel
partners, to build future connected
solutions14
.”
Some organizations have looked beyond
partnerships to develop capabilities. For
instance, Honeywell offers APIs that allow
developers, product integrators and
retailers to create custom applications
that integrate with Honeywell’s Wi-Fi
thermostats15
. Another approach is
seen with medical device manufacturer
Medtronic, which has acquired
Cardiocom, a provider of telehealth
services,withtheaimofusingCardiocom’s
expertise to design telehealth services
that work with Medtronic’s wireless
patient monitoring devices.
Honeywell and Medtronic are in the
minority when it comes to using multiple
approaches to skill development. Our
research revealed that only 10% of
companies use acquisitions, or develop
platforms and APIs, as a way to build
capability.
The picture that is emerging is one where
organizations are fighting shy of IoT,
despite the disruptive impact it may have
on their markets and despite the size of
the trillion-dollar prize. In the next section,
we look at some of the reasons for this

their Big Data sets16
. This is a challenge,
as research indicates that data from
embedded systems will grow from 2%
of the digital universe in 2013 to 10% in
202017
.
Organizations Lack Real-Time Data
Analytics Technologies Critical to
Drawing Insights from the Internet
of Things
The volume and velocity of sensor
data flowing into the organization
makes drawing insights particularly
challenging. Many organizations lack
stream processing capabilities, which are
essential for the collection, integration,
analysis and visualization of data in real
time. Sixty-seven percent of organizations
in a survey reported that they lack the
technology support required for analyzing
and acting on streaming Big Data18
.
The Internet of Things Magnifies
Data Security and Privacy
Challenges
Protecting Internet-connected devices
from security threats, as well as dealing
with data privacy risks, are key challenges
in the IoT environment. Recent events
have revealed the enormity of these
challenges. A case in point is the global
attack that took place in late 2013,
where botnets were used to send more
than 750,000 malicious emails from
connected household appliances19
.
Research indicates that organizations
are not adequately equipped to deal
with these new security challenges.
For instance, in a survey of US-based
IT professionals, 50% of respondents
reported not being ready to secure an
ecosystem of connected devices20
.

Organizations Need New
Skill Sets across a Range of
Functions
Traditional Product-Centric
Organizations Lack Capabilities in
Developing and Marketing Internet
of Things Services
The development of IoT solutions
demands a new set of competencies
from traditional product-centric
organizations. They now need to be
able to envision new services, develop
commercial models and design service
contracts that result in continuous
revenue streams. Our discussions with
senior executives revealed that these are
not areas of strength for many product-
centric organizations. A leading car
manufacturer told us, “We need new
skill sets to be able to offer connectivity
services. We need to bring in people
who are more used to developing and
selling services21
.” Similarly, a leading
security systems company highlighted
the need to complement existing product
management capabilities - “The buyers
of our IoT services could potentially be
different from those of our products. Our
product managers will have to understand
and address the needs of these new
customers22
.”
Today’s Product-Focused Sales
Force is not Equipped to Sell IoT
Services
For IoT solutions, a sales force needs to
be comfortable in articulating the value
proposition and potential benefits, which
is critical to convincing often-reluctant
customers to pay for a new class of
services. This is a challenge for today’s
sales force. An executive at a leading
medical technology company highlights
this when he says, “Our sales force has
been used to selling equipment, but
now they need to sell IT solutions. They
need to be able to convince customers
on the value received by connecting
their equipment23
.” This sentiment is
echoed by a director at a leading auto
manufacturer, who said, “Training the
sales force in selling connectivity services
is certainly a challenge. In fact, we see
this challenge intensifying in the future as
we expect the services space to become
even more complex24
.”
The Internet of Things Places New
Demands on Customer Support
Capabilities
Our research indicates that IoT solutions
are likely to increase the complexity of
queries that reach customer support
teams. Moreover, since connectivity
reduces the time lag between the
occurrence of an event and the time
taken for information to reach the
support center, customers are also
likely to expect faster response times.
A senior executive at a leading car
manufacturer highlights the changing
nature of customer requirements when
he says, “The proliferation of Internet-
enabled devices has raised customer
expectations from service providers.
Customers now expect to be informed
about device problems and the required
remedial action, in real-time25
.”
Organizations Lack Big Data
Analytics Talent to Effectively
Interpret Sensor Data
Most organizations currently lack the
analytics skill-sets required to effectively
interpret sensor data. A survey reported
that lack of employee skills/knowledge
is the biggest obstacle facing their
organizations in using IoT26
.
While these infrastructure and skills
challenges are significant, they are not
the only issues that organizations face.
Resistance, for one, is a major problem.
An executive at a medical technology
company outlined how resistance can
come less from the customer – and
more from within the organization,
explaining, “We only have 20% resistance
from the customer and 80% from our
own organization. Consequently, it is a
significant challenge to align our existing
Our sales force has been
used to selling equipment,
but now they need to sell
IT solutions. They need
to be able to convince
customers on the value
received by connecting
their equipment.

business processes with new IoT-based
service offerings27
.”
The scale of the challenges organizations
face – infrastructure, skills, resistance – is
significant. Therefore, in the following –
and concluding – section, we outline a
roadmap that provides organizations with
some clarity and direction for overcoming
these hurdles and driving their IoT
initiatives to success.

How Can Organizations Build a
Successful Internet of Things Solution?
The IoT prize will be won by those who
achieve a change in mindset, from
a product world to a service world.
However, that fundamental mind-shift is
not the only requirement. Organizations
need to get the right IT infrastructure
in place, quickly acquire capabilities in
analytics, and strengthen a whole host of
functional capabilities.
Put the Right IT
Infrastructure in Place and
Acquire Data Analytics
Capabilities
Organizations must invest in alternative
data storage architectures that can be
scaled quickly and cost effectively. This
will allow the business to keep pace with
rapidly growing volumes of sensor data.
Open source distributed data processing
frameworks, such as Hadoop, as well
as cloud-based technologies, lend
themselves to managing vast quantities

of data in an affordable and efficient
manner. Organizations should also invest
in stream processing applications that
enable real-time analysis of sensor data.
Analytics capability also needs to be
acquired, with the CEO of a leading smart
meter firm outlining their comprehensive
approach to this need: “We recruited
analytics professionals, developed
internal training programs, established
partnerships in the area of Meter Data
Management (MDM) and even acquired
a smart meter data management firm28
.”
Strengthen Functional
Capabilities across Product
Management, Sales and
Marketing and Customer
Support
Launching effective IoT solutions will
require organizations to strengthen their
capabilities across a range of areas.
Key among them are sales, product
management, and customer support (see
Figure 5).
Use Trainings and Incentives to
Prepare the Sales Force to Sell IoT
Solutions
Organizations must take active steps to
stimulate their sales force to promote IoT
solutions. However, training alone will
not be sufficient and organizations must
also offer adequate inducements in the
form of additional sales incentives. Finally,
organizations must actively promote early
wins internally to create awareness as well
as share best practices in driving sales
conversions. An executive from a medical
technology company explains how they
encouraged their sales force to push
IoT solutions, “We identified individuals
within our sales force who could act as
champions for our remote equipment
monitoring services29
.”

Augment Product Management
Capabilities with Services Expertise
and Emphasize Ease-of-Use in
Product Design
Organizationsmustaugmenttheirproduct
management teams with the skill sets
required to develop services. To do so,
organizations should consider recruiting
product management professionals
from service-centric industries. Further,
connected solutions must be designed
with a focus on ease-of-use, to overcome
barriers to adoption from internal sales
teams, channel partners and customers.
A senior executive at a leading auto
manufacturer explains how this approach
has proved successful for them - “We
focused on making our fleet management
offering as easy to use as possible, so
that they could be handled by traditional
product-focused salesmen. This has
proved to be quite successful30
.”
Develop Customer Support
Capabilities to Drive Real-Time
Issue Resolution
Organizations will need to create
specialized customer support teams
capable of responding rapidly to complex
customer queries. At the same time,
existing Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
will need to be revised in order to meet
customer expectations of reduced
response times. Some organizations
are already beginning to do this. A
senior executive at a leading medical
technology company explains their plans
to build customer support capabilities
for its remote equipment monitoring
platform: “We are setting up a first
response team consisting of experts and
service engineers. Consumers calling
in with issues related to their connected
equipment will be directed to this team
for faster and more effective resolution of
queries31
.”
The IoT represents the next evolution of
the digital universe. The speed at which
nimble startups and Internet players are
capturing IoT opportunities should serve
as a wake-up call to larger, traditional
organizations. Analyst estimates point to
a world where startups will dominate the
IoT market. Fifty percent of IoT solutions
are expected to originate in startups less
than 3 years old, by 201732
. They may
be less nimble, but bigger organizations
need to step up to the plate. As with all
digital disruptions, being an organization
that is in catch-up mode will be a deeply
uncomfortable place to be.
Open source distributed
data processing
frameworks, such as
Hadoop, as well as cloud-
based technologies, lend
themselves to managing
vast quantities of data
in an affordable and
efficient manner.
We are setting up a first
response team consisting
of experts and service
engineers. Consumers
calling in with issues
related to their connected
equipment will be directed
to this team for faster and
more effective resolution
of queries.
Research Methodology
Analysis of IoT Solutions
We conducted a comprehensive study of IoT products and services offered by over 100 leading companies in North America and
Europe across 7 industry groups. The industry groups covered in our study included Home Appliances, Industrial Manufacturing,
Utilities, Insurance, Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare Products, and Auto Manufacturing. We selected a representative sample of
companies that cumulatively account for 50% of the revenues generated by all firms belonging to these industry groups, in
North America and Europe.
Our research covered four key areas. First, we analyzed the maturity of IoT solutions based on their use of sensor data.
Second, we assessed how organizations are monetizing IoT services. Third, we evaluated the degree of integration of these
IoT solutions with third-party products and services. Finally, we studied the approaches adopted by organizations to accelerate
the development of IoT solutions.
Internal Capability Assessment
To understand the challenges in developing IoT solutions, we conducted wide-ranging interviews with senior executives from
leading global organizations that have undertaken IoT-based initiatives.
