IIoT Landscape
In this class, we will detail the environment under consideration. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a subset of the Internet of Things (IoT) with very specific requirements. In this environment, safety is a big concern. In addition, there are generally a number of communications types and devices not generally found in the IoT.

Safety Considerations
Security goes with safety in the IIoT. If the systems are not secure, then safety cannot be ensured. Security is not a sufficient condition for safety, but a necessary one. In this lecture, we will look at a number of safety considerations and their impact in security concerns.

Security Concerns
In this lecture, we will consider security in the industrial setting. Because these are basically control systems, we will approach security from the point of view of those systems. This can include physical security as well as communications and other electronic devices.

Data Theft and Attacks
At the heart of any enterprise toDay is data. IIoT systems produce very valuable data. As is well known, attacks on infrastructure are on the increase and pose a number of problems. In this class, we will look at the problems associated with theft of that data as well as attacks that might disrupt it.

Solutions and Future Directions
Standards can be used to help mitigate safety and security concerns. Many are developed precisely for this purpose. In this talk, we look at the types of standards involved and discuss their impact on the IIoT in terms of the protocol stack, system architecture, and implementations. Finally, we will discuss future directions in this area.
