A Testbed Approach to Assessing and Mitigating Iiot Network Vulnerabilities
Maryam Karimi, Scott Bartlett, Diego M. Mendez Mena · 2025
The rapid adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and wireless networks has introduced significant functional and cybersecurity challenges. This study aims to enhance the understanding of these concerns and identify effective mitigation measures. To achieve this, we developed a comprehensive testbed that represents industry-standard IoT architectures, incorporating commonly used elements, wireless protocols, and components. Then, we conducted a series of experiments designed to identify and assess functional and cybersecurity risks associated with IIoT deployments. We proposed mitigation measures tailored to address the identified vulnerabilities.
