David Henthorn [Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology] | Illuminating the Dark Data of Critical Infrastructure | InfluxDays EMEA 2021

Critical infrastructure, such as manufacturing facilities, power plants, dams, and chemical plants, has long experienced a phenomenon known as dark data – crucial information is locked away in disparate and proprietary systems. At Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, we are teaching students to unlock this data with the help of tools such as Telegraf and InfluxDB to better make informed decisions. In addition, these tools allow our students to investigate best practices in data handling and critical infrastructure cybersecurity.
