IIoT device security design and architecture

An IIoT device is at the center of the IIoT application, and innovations such as smart cities, smart grids for utilities, and smart homes all rely on robust and resilient IIoT devices. Safe operations and securing the IoT device tier should be paramount in any IIoT application. Furthermore, the diversity of the devices in an IIoT solution is huge—a typical IIoT solution may consist of some homegrown devices, third-party devices, and many different legacy devices, and hence, we cannot assume secure practices have been followed already, so we should make sure that secure practices are followed rigorously before launching an IoT solution. Securing an IIoT device can be broken down into three important ...
