Abstract

The requirements of industrial, consumer or generic Internet of Things (IoT) networks are evolving due to advances in sensor and wireless networks, embedded systems, edge and cloud computing. IoT is becoming increasingly pervasive in the industrial domain, and these networks face the additional challenge of evolving network architecture towards integrating Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) networks. This paper analyses the underpinning cybersecurity risks and attack landscape in Industrial IoT (IIoT) and suggests potential countermeasure opportunities for future hybrid IoT applications based on lessons from IIoT projects.
