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.

Chapter 8. IIoT Security Using Emerging Technologies

"Security-enabled data, and the language of AI, will drive our future connected, driverless world."                                             – Sudha Jamthe, Author and CEO of IoT Disruptions

In the present century, we are thriving in a technology hotbed. Every industry—be it consumer, retail, or manufacturing—is embracing disruptive innovations that challenge our operational status quo. Just consider how fast we have digitally traveled from smartphones to smart homes, smart farming, and smart cars. Today, we rely on technology to solve any problem, be it individual, social, national, or industrial.

In the earlier chapters of this book, we discussed various technologies to arrive at a framework for industrial IoT security. The framework is by no means fixed and final. It needs to evolve, with newer innovations and attack vectors. After all, new technologies serve as hotbeds for new threats, as well. Just as the threat landscape never stops...
