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 a primer of attacks, countermeasures, and threat modeling, which lays the foundation for effective risk analysis and mitigation. It also provided the readers with insights into the distinguishing characteristics of trustworthiness for IIoT systems and the functional components of the industrial big data pipeline.

IIoT systems are highly complex; this chapter presented IIoT architectural viewpoints and patterns as developed by the IIC to provide you with a crisp understanding of end-to-end IIoT system components. Based on usage, operations, and functional domains, the IIoT security architecture was decomposed into a four-tier security model, which has been further elaborated in the subsequent chapters of the book.
