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


This chapter presented an actionable roadmap to implement the multi-layered IIoT security model. Readers are now able to utilize practical insights on securing IIoT life cycle processes, security roles and responsibilities, the various elements of an IIoT security governance program, and how an organization can implement a practical and adaptive security governance program. The necessity of right-sizing security by setting the IIoT security objectives in the context of safety and reliability, an introduction to the security maturity model, and an evaluation of security roles were also discussed in this chapter.

In Chapter 8, IIoT Security Using Emerging Technologies, a few promising technologies that are still in the early phases of development are presented to help readers gain a basic understanding of their relevance and applicability.
