We will go into detail about different secure architectures in the following section.

Securing an IIoT application is an ongoing activity and is fundamentally about protecting the applications and services that make up the IIoT application, while protecting your sensitive data. Security should include design and architecture, in addition to fixing the issues identified on an ongoing basis.
