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...
