Practical Industrial Internet of Things Security

By: Sravani Bhattacharjee

Overview of this book

Securing connected industries and autonomous systems is of primary concern to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) community. Unlike cybersecurity, cyber-physical security directly ties to system reliability as well as human and environmental safety. This hands-on guide begins by establishing the foundational concepts of IIoT security with the help of real-world case studies, threat models, and reference architectures. You’ll work with practical tools to design risk-based security controls for industrial use cases and gain practical knowledge of multi-layered defense techniques, including identity and access management (IAM), endpoint security, and communication infrastructure. You’ll also understand how to secure IIoT lifecycle processes, standardization, and governance. In the concluding chapters, you’ll explore the design and implementation of resilient connected systems with emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with the all the knowledge required to design industry-standard IoT systems confidently.

Chapter 2. Industrial IoT Dataflow and Security Architecture

"Ensuring that the devices and systems connected to the internet are secure is a key to ensuring the safety and reliability of industrial operations."

             – Dr. Richard Soley, Executive Director, Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC)

The sheer scale and complexity of IIoT demands a systematic approach to secure the system architecture. When the degree of complexity is high, decomposing the security paradigm into subdomains helps to manage and mitigate risks. This decomposition is particularly useful to use cases involving several technologies, and spanning across multiple organizational boundaries (a common scenario in IIoT).

Industrial systems last for decades. This further necessitates to plan for protecting industrial IoT systems and assets against both current and future threats.

This chapter presents in-depth insights into IIoT (big) data flows and IIoT reference architectures, and introduces the industrial internet security...
