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 covers the essential dimensions of IIoT endpoint security. It establishes an working definition of IIoT endpoints and discusses various use-case specific considerations for securing them. A real-world case study is cited to illustrate the vulnerabilities of typical industrial device endpoints. In this chapter the reader also finds an elaborate treatment of the endpoint security enabler technologies which spans the silicon, software and processes. The increasing use of machine learning and the importance of testing and certifications using industry standards have also been discussed in this chapter.

Chapter 5, Securing Connectivity and Communications, focuses on the next level of the 4-tier IIoT security model.
