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.

Security maturity model


The various connected assets in an organization do not require the same level of security measures. For example, security measures for critical infrastructure and those for a handheld mobile device need not be of the same degree. Every organization needs to balance what is ideally desirable with what's practical and actionable in terms of resources. To guide you in the process, the IIC has defined the IoT Security Maturity Model (IIC-SMM), a conceptual framework to organize various considerations to determine the maturity level of a given system. 

The security maturity model can be used to identify the comprehensiveness and alignment necessary for different maturity levels appropriate for a specific industry. The framework can also be applied in the context of a specific organization, or a production environment, or at a specific system level to define what the current state of security is and the security target state. The following is an excerpt from IIC's "IoT Security...
