Security Implications of Underlying Network Technologies on Industrial Internet of Things
İsmail Bütün · Journal of Polytechnic · 2020
Application of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) network is expanding in accordance with the proliferation of Industry 4.0. As in any kind of network, security should be one of the main concerns apart from the safety of the individuals or the equipment. Yet any weaknesses in the security measures can directly affect the safety of the network components and also operators around them. Therefore, in this article security implications of IIoT are discussed, especially those related to the underlying network technologies; such as BACnet, LoRa, Modbus, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, WirelessHART, etc. Furthermore, the security implications of fog computing - IIoT integration are also evaluated and presented. Finally, future directions are provided for the researchers in the field.
