Securing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the integration of traditional Internet of Things (IoT) principles with industrial sectors and applications. This convergence has revolutionized industrial operations, enabling remote monitoring and control of critical infrastructure, enhanced data analytics, and optimized decision-making. However, the vast and diverse IoT landscape has also introduced new security challenges.This book presents a comprehensive overview of security concerns in the IIoT, with a focus on developing and deploying lightweight and efficient intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPSs) for edge devices. The book begins by introducing the fundamentals of IoT and IIoT, including architectures, protocols, and applications. It then discusses the unique security challenges posed by edge devices, such as resource constraints, limited processing power, and unreliable connectivity.
