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


The industrial internet involves ubiquitous connectivity. Connectivity undoubtedly exposes industrial environments to threats, which may result in serious safety and reliability consequences.

Denying connectivity in the digital era is not an option for enterprises. Industries should instead focus on how to secure their internet-connected infrastructure.

This chapter addresses this question by helping the reader develop deeper insights into building secured IIoT connectivity infrastructure. By analyzing the distinguishing aspects of industrial connectivity frameworks and specifications, this chapter explains how existing industrial deployments can evolve and adopt the secured IIoT connectivity architecture. Multiple security controls and technologies to implement the defense-in-depth strategy for IIoT connectivity were discussed.

 

 

A comprehensive understanding of the standards, protocols, and their associated security postures is presented in this chapter to provide the reader with...
