Security and Privacy Trends in the Industrial Internet of Things

  • Describes acceptance of the fourth industrial revolution in the control process with support to incorporate the new control paradigms: IIot, cloud/fog systems and virtualized systems
  • Explains how critical infrastructures and the control industry are being actively targeted by advanced and persistent attackers
  • Demonstrates that the security and privacy issues are growing with the integration of the new control technologies and interconnection systems
  • Treats one of the hottest topics within cyber security and cyber defence: collaborative, advanced awareness systems and defence techniques against stealth and advanced persistent attacks

About this book

This book, written by leaders in the protection field of critical infrastructures, provides an extended overview of the technological and operative advantages together with the security problems and challenges of the new paradigm of the Internet of Things in today’s industry, also known as the Industry Internet of Things (IIoT). 

The incorporation of the new embedded technologies and the interconnected networking advances in the automation and monitoring processes, certainly multiplies the functional complexities of the underlying control system, whilst increasing security and privacy risks. The critical nature of the application context and its relevance for the well-being of citizens and their economy, attracts the attention of multiple, advanced attackers, with stealthy abilities to evade security policies, ex-filter information or exploit vulnerabilities. Some real-life events and registers in CERTs have already clearly demonstrated how the control industry can becomevulnerable to multiple types of advanced threats whose focus consists in hitting the safety and security of the control processes. 

This book, therefore, comprises a detailed spectrum of research papers with highly analytical content and actuation procedures to cover the relevant security and privacy issues such as data protection, awareness, response and resilience, all of them working at optimal times. Readers will be able to comprehend the construction problems of the fourth industrial revolution and are introduced to effective, lightweight protection solutions which can be integrated as part of the new IIoT-based monitoring ecosystem.
