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.

Case study of IIoT cloud platforms


Secured management of an IIoT system involves many moving parts. This leads to complexity requiring domain expertise in multiple disciplines, high cost of development and integration, and a very long time to market. To mitigate this difficult terrain, many cloud platform providers have expanded their portfolio beyond centralized data analytics to include end-to-end services specific to Industrial IoT workloads. In collaboration with their ecosystem partners, the CSPs are able to offer a service set that includes zero-touch provisioning at the scale of millions of IoT devices, device management, physical WAN connectivity using cellular and fixed lines, VPN-based edge to cloud connectivity, single billing, and so on. In this section, readers can review three IoT-specific cloud platforms AWS IoT, Azure IoT, and Predix from GE Digital to gain real-world insights into cloud-based security architectures and services.
