Abstract

To achieve efficient and flexible systems when running production processes at affordable prices an industrial automation is pushed towards digital transformation. Such a transformation assumes an enhancement of current Industrial Automated Control Systems with a large amount of IoT-devices in order to form an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The aimis to enable a shift from an automatic towards an autonomous control in such systems. This paper discusses some of the main challenges such IIoT system is facing with respect to cybersecurity. We discuss our findings in an example of a flow-control loop, where we apply a simple threat model based on the STRIDE method to and deduce cybersecurity requirements in an IIoT context. Moreover, the identified requirements are assessed in the light of current state of the art solutions, and a number of challenges are discussed with respect to a large-scale IIoT system, together with some suggestions for future work.
