Cybersecurity in an Industrial Internet of Things Environment (IIoT) Challenges for Standards Systems and Evaluation Models

Abstract

This paper puts privacy cybersecurity protection into framework of an Internet of Things industrial environment (IIoT) and analyzes on two tools’ groups in particular: (1) Standards and technical norms specifically designed to be applied in industrial environments, and (2) assessment tools for cybersecurity of Intermet of Things (IoT) devices usable in industrial infrastructures and environments. These case studies show the cybersecurity challenges and concerns triggered by these limited technologies and how they are addressed by regulations, standards, and technical mechanisms. The goal of these case studies is to illustrate how regulation and technologies attempt to protect the cybersecurity interests in industrial contexts. Finally, the case studies aim to generate an understanding of challenges and how standards and technology address cybersecurity issues in these industrial contexts.
