Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) envisions a world where critical infrastructures, such as factories, power plants, and water systems, are monitored and controlled through the network. The IIoT’s adoption may allow for the optimization of many industry domains, including the more complex industrial environments. Nevertheless, all of this interconnection will expand the cyberattack surface to unprecedented levels. The risks are aggravated by vulnerabilities in the devices and their environments to threats such as unsecured hardware and firmware, poorly developed software, and unsecured physical access that can lead to damage to equipment, the disruption of process controls, the theft of intellectual property, the loss of customer and corporate data, and industrial espionage.
This Special Issue on “Cyber Security in the Industrial Internet Of Things” aims to stimulate open scientific discussions on new solutions and trends in response to the main security and trust challenges in the IIoT.
