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.

Defense-in-depth cloud security strategy


As more and more enterprises are moving their data, compute, and storage to the cloud, CSPs now have a greater onus to protect customer assets using best of breed cybersecurity controls. However, conventional cybersecurity countermeasures, such as patching and upgrades, are reactive, wherein resolution comes after the compromise has happened.

Repeated reports of DDoS and data breach incidents highlight a need for more robust and security compliant cloud architectures, more so with the introduction of Industrial Internet applications. Today, industry leading CSPs such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, and IBM Cloud. have service offerings specific to the IoT marketplace. The new IoT-specific cloud capabilities, such as device life cycle management, big data analytics, and visualizations must be augmented with measures to protect not only the cloud infrastructure but also the critical infrastructures that are now integrated with these cloud platforms.
