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.

Connectivity framework standards


IIoT connectivity framework standards facilitate logical data exchange services among participating devices in real time. Connectivity framework standards need to support secure data exchange with low latency and jitter, hardware and transport layer agnostic performance, efficient device discovery and authentication, and interoperability with legacy fieldbus and other open standards.

Two predominant data exchange patterns in IIoT data communication are publish-subscribe and request-response. In publish-subscribe mode, an application publishes data on well-known topics, independent of its consumers or subscribers, while applications that subscribe to the well-known topic are agnostic of publishers. This provides loose coupling between participating endpoints, where an endpoint may operate as a publisher, a subscriber, or both. In the request-response data exchange pattern (also known as the client-server pattern), requestors (clients) initiate a service request...
