"The Industrial IoT is more of an evolution than a revolution." – Paul Didier, IoT Architect, Cisco
The industrial revolution of the 1800s unveiled the tremendous power of machines. Subsequent developments in industrial automation and ICS/SCADA systems steered industrial operations to new heights of efficiency and optimization. Presently, the transformative power of the industrial IoT is shaping a new era of industrial connectivity and autonomy.
In this chapter, we will highlight the tasks ahead of us in the IIoT security journey. This chapter will cover the following topics:
- An era of decentralized autonomy
- Endpoint security
- Standards and reference architecture
- Industry collaboration
- Interoperability
- Green patches in brownfield
