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.

Cloud security operations life cycle


Cloud security is not a one-time solution. It has to align and persist throughout the active lifespan of an IIoT deployment, involving development, Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) and other secure DevOps functions, design re-engineering, and so on.

Business continuity plan and disaster recovery

Prevention and response to malicious activities is vital. However, incidents leading to outages do occur, sometimes even due to natural factors such as flood and fire. In an era of accelerated deployment cycles, lack of data center availability following an incident is also a serious reliability issue. Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and Disaster Recovery (DR) is an essential component of any deployment.

To address business continuity, certain CSPs have out-of-the-box high availability solutions. To mitigate single points of failure, as common high availability strategies, CSPs provision load balancing between their geographically separated data...
