A Taxonomy of Security Issues in Industrial Internet-of-Things: Scoping Review for Existing Solutions, Future Implications, and Research Challenges

Open access

Abstract

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoTs) are the extensions of the Internet of Things (IoTs) and have paved the way towards the industry revolution 4.0. IIoT accelerates the industry automation of internal and external working process including transport, manufacturing, and marketing units with a number of connected devices. Being the extension of IoT, it inherits the insecurities of the technology; however, this sensor-configured infrastructure of IIoT needs some extra effort to customize the existing security solutions. In spite of the reconstructions of security models, the scope of improved developments is open to detect unknown attacks. The present study helps the researchers to understand the cause for intrusion by classifying and comparing various attacks of each IIoT layers. The main focus of this survey is to analyze various security issues faced by IIoT and provide a comparative analysis on the available solutions to enhance the industrial IoTs’ protection systems. This study also notifies some open research problems for academia, technologists, and researchers to flourish the IIoT domain and its security aspects.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
