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.

Cloud security standards and compliance


Multiple security standards have been developed to protect customer assets when using cloud services. These standards can be broadly classified as advisory, security frameworks, and technical specifications. Customers need to evaluate to what extent the cloud service providers are in compliance with these standards. A list of the security standards is provided here:

  • ISO/IEC 27001, a high-level management systems standard series and its associated cloud service specific standards ISO/IEC 27017 (for security) and ISO/IEC 27018 (for protection of personal data)
  • Standards addressing specific aspects of cloud computing: ISO/IEC 27033 for network security, ISO/IEC 27034 for application security, ISO/IEC 19086 for cloud service SLAs
  • Technology-specific security standards such as OASIS KMIP (key management), FIPS 140-2 (approved cryptographic modules), and OASIS SAML 2.0 (security assertions, used in IAM implementations)
  • ISO/IEC 20889 standardizes de-identification...
