Curated by The Motley Fool
The Internet is undeniably the most important innovation in recent history – it has enabled an open exchange of information and ideas, created a new age in commerce and brought together people across the globe. But the Internet's connective capabilities don't end with people. The next wave of the Internet is already underway, and it is taking devices and putting them on the grid. This ‘Internet of Things’ is taking everyday items and enabling them to communicate with each other, leading to real-time analytics, more efficient operations and predictive capabilities. Of course, we need sensors, communication infrastructure and software solutions to collect, communicate and decipher it all. All told, some experts think IoT will have an annual economic impact of over £4.6 billion by 2025. Here are seven companies that are poised to power this digital revolution.

Technology firm Cisco Systems said that hackers have subverted some of its digital security devices to break in to government networks globally. In a blog post published on Wednesday, the company said its Adaptive Security Appliances - pieces of equipment that roll several different digital defense functions into one - had previously unknown vulnerabilities that had been exploited by a group of hackers they called "UAT4356." The blog post described the group as a "sophisticated state-sponsored actor" and said that the company's investigation found victims that "involved government networks globally."
Tech giant Cisco Systems on Wednesday joined Microsoft and IBM in signing onto a Vatican-sponsored pledge to ensure artificial intelligence is developed and used ethically and to benefit the common good. Cisco Systems chief executive Chuck Robbins signed the document, known as the Rome Call, and met privately with Pope Francis, the Vatican said. The document was unveiled and signed at a Vatican conference on Feb. 28, 2020 — just before Italy locked down as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic — by Microsoft’s Brad Smith and IBM’s John Kelly III. Universities, U.N. agencies, private corporations and nongovernmental organizations have signed on as well.
