Avoiding the internet of insecure industrial things
Security incidents such as targeted distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on power grids and hacking of factory industrial control systems (ICS) are on the increase. This paper unpacks where emerging security risks lie for the industrial internet of things, drawing on both technical and regulatory perspectives. Legal changes are being ushered by the European Union (EU) Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive 2016 and the General Data Protection Regulation 2016 (GDPR) (both to be enforced from May 2018). We use the case study of the emergent smart energy supply chain to frame, scope out and consolidate the breadth of security concerns at play, and the regulatory responses. We argue the industrial IoT brings four security concerns to the fore, namely: appreciating the shift from offline to online infrastructure; managing temporal dimensions of security; addressing the implementation gap for best practice; and engaging with infrastructural complexity. Our goal is to surface risks and foster dialogue to avoid the emergence of an Internet of Insecure Industrial Things
Towards In-Transit Analytics for Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0, or Digital Manufacturing, is a vision of inter-connected
services to facilitate innovation in the manufacturing sector. A fundamental
requirement of innovation is the ability to be able to visualise manufacturing
data, in order to discover new insight for increased competitive advantage.
This article describes the enabling technologies that facilitate In-Transit
Analytics, which is a necessary precursor for Industrial Internet of Things
(IIoT) visualisation.Comment: 8 pages, 10th IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things

Industrial Internet of Things – security, weaknesses and most common types of attacks: a systematic literature review
In recent years there has been a growing interest in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) coming from
business and scientific communities alike. One of the elementary concepts of the proposed Industry 4.0 is the
IIoT which proposes the implementation of the regular Internet of Things (IoT) concept on a much larger scale
within the industrial facilities, thus interconnecting devices in industrial settings. While the main focus of the
scientific community is on the cost/benefit analysis and practical application of the mentioned concept, one often
overlooked aspect is its security. The following paper presents a comprehensive systematic literature review for
the Industrial Internet of Things security. It contains a review of the most common types of attacks committed
within the Industrial Internet of Things and a consequential analysis of the weaknesses those attacks exposed.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Survey on wireless technology trade-offs for the industrial internet of things
Aside from vast deployment cost reduction, Industrial Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (IWSAN) introduce a new level of industrial connectivity. Wireless connection of sensors and actuators in industrial environments not only enables wireless monitoring and actuation, it also enables coordination of production stages, connecting mobile robots and autonomous transport vehicles, as well as localization and tracking of assets. All these opportunities already inspired the development of many wireless technologies in an effort to fully enable Industry 4.0. However, different technologies significantly differ in performance and capabilities, none being capable of supporting all industrial use cases. When designing a network solution, one must be aware of the capabilities and the trade-offs that prospective technologies have. This paper evaluates the technologies potentially suitable for IWSAN solutions covering an entire industrial site with limited infrastructure cost and discusses their trade-offs in an effort to provide information for choosing the most suitable technology for the use case of interest. The comparative discussion presented in this paper aims to enable engineers to choose the most suitable wireless technology for their specific IWSAN deployment
ICMetrics based industrial internet of things (IIoT) security in the post quantum world
We are moving into an era of autonomous Industrial Internet of Things world; its security must be considered a crucial element. To maintain the current growth rate in Industrial Internet of Things, future threats related to quantum computing era need utmost attention. This research, in its preliminary stages is a major step in this direction and aims to design an ICMetrics based Industrial Internet of Things security framework for the post quantum era
The Emerging Internet of Things Marketplace From an Industrial Perspective: A Survey
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a dynamic global information network
consisting of internet-connected objects, such as Radio-frequency
identification (RFIDs), sensors, actuators, as well as other instruments and
smart appliances that are becoming an integral component of the future
internet. Over the last decade, we have seen a large number of the IoT
solutions developed by start-ups, small and medium enterprises, large
corporations, academic research institutes (such as universities), and private
and public research organisations making their way into the market. In this
paper, we survey over one hundred IoT smart solutions in the marketplace and
examine them closely in order to identify the technologies used,
functionalities, and applications. More importantly, we identify the trends,
opportunities and open challenges in the industry-based the IoT solutions.
Based on the application domain, we classify and discuss these solutions under
five different categories: smart wearable, smart home, smart, city, smart
environment, and smart enterprise. This survey is intended to serve as a
guideline and conceptual framework for future research in the IoT and to
motivate and inspire further developments. It also provides a systematic
exploration of existing research and suggests a number of potentially
significant research directions.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing 201
Evidences of World`s Technical Revolution 4.0
Over last three centuries industry as it is now has dramatically changed and
developed from global urbanization and steam machines to invention of PC with
variety of digital devices and spreading of the Internet. The Fourth Industrial
Revolution marked by emerging technology breakthroughs in a number of fields,
including robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, biotechnology, the Internet
of Things (IoT), 3D printing and autonomous vehicles. The Fourth Industrial
Revolution was declared in Davos on “World Economic Forum” in 2016. This
statement was built on the Digital Revolution, representing new ways in which
technology becomes embedded within societies and even the human body
Securing the Participation of Safety-Critical SCADA Systems in the Industrial Internet of Things
In the past, industrial control systems were ‘air gapped’ and
isolated from more conventional networks. They used
specialist protocols, such as Modbus, that are very different
from TCP/IP. Individual devices used proprietary operating
systems rather than the more familiar Linux or Windows.
However, things are changing. There is a move for greater
connectivity – for instance so that higher-level enterprise
management systems can exchange information that helps
optimise production processes. At the same time, industrial
systems have been influenced by concepts from the Internet
of Things; where the information derived from sensors and
actuators in domestic and industrial components can be
addressed through network interfaces. This paper identifies a
range of cyber security and safety concerns that arise from
these developments. The closing sections introduce potential
solutions and identify areas for future research
