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


In this chapter, we discussed the fundamental tenets of an IAM strategy and evaluated the various distinguishing aspects of an IIoT deployment in terms of IAM requirements. The reader was introduced to the relevant concepts and technologies associated with IAM, and their corresponding benefits and limitations.

This chapter was designed to provide the reader with a holistic baseline and actionable steps to develop a risk-based and cost-effective IAM strategy for a specific IIoT deployment use case.

Chapter4Endpoint Security and Trustworthiness, takes the discussion of IIoT device security to the next level by providing a comprehensive analysis of IIoT endpoint security and trustworthiness.
