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.

Summary


As the Industrial Internet evolves, so do the security requirements. Secure cloud platforms enable industrial enterprises to unlock the potential of the data that already resides in the organization. While IIoT edge-cloud services enable industrial enterprises to manage scaled deployments, they also significantly increase the attack surface, exposing the deployment to new attack vectors. This chapter presented readers with insights into the security controls in edge-cloud architectures. The defense-in-depth strategy for secure cloud platforms, security measures specific to the infrastructure, application, data protection and encryption, and the DevOps life cycle were discussed using real-world case studies. The chapter includes a list of important cloud security industry standards that cloud services need to comply with, in addition to regional and international data protection and privacy regulations. A cloud security assessment matrix developed in this chapter can be a useful resource...
