Cyber threats are no longer confined to computer screens as they shape industries, economies, and even societies. In this exclusive interview, cybersecurity global expert Mikko Hyppönen paints the picture how the digital battlefield has evolved, what industrial leaders must do to protect their business operations, and why AI-generated art unsettles him.

This is my final editorial as Editor-in-Chief of Maintworld Magazine.

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) promises improved reliability, but is it always worth it? Full-scale implementation is often overly complex, costly, and unnecessary—like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito. Without readiness and a strong foundation in basic maintenance practices, RCM can distract from more practical, cost-effective solutions. Simpler, experience-driven approaches may often yield better results.

In recent years, advances in connectivity, big data and digitalization have often promised to bring significant benefits to industry. Now, with the Valmet Industrial Internet, data is being used to deliver a better kind of maintenance service, as well as performance optimization services.

To be able to respond to current developments and trends in society, it is of vital importance for organizations to focus on the sustainable employability of assets.
