Industrial Internet of Things
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) refers to systems that connect industrial devices such as sensors and controllers to networks for data collection and remote monitoring. It is widely used in manufacturing, energy, cold chain, and other fields, and its security protection is often weaker than that of traditional IT systems.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The security predicament of industrial IoT devices stems from their lifecycle and design orientation: their design life often exceeds ten years, embedded controllers prioritize stable operation above all, they are rarely upgraded after leaving the factory, and problems such as default passwords, plaintext communication and lack of network segmentation are widespread.
Measures to mitigate OT attacks include isolating OT networks from IT networks, forcing changes to default credentials, restricting remote write permissions, and setting up automatic alarms and interlock protection for temperature anomalies.
