How IIoT works and is it secure ?
How does IIoT work? IIoT is a network of intelligent devices connected to form systems that monitor, collect, exchange and analyze data. Each industrial IoT ecosystem consists: Connected devices which can communicate, sense and store information about there own working system. public and/or private data communications infrastructure; analytics and applications that gives business related information from raw data; storage for the data that is generated by the IIoT devices. What are the risks and challenges of IIoT? The biggest risks associated with IIoT use pertain to security. It's relatively common for IIoT devices to continue using default passwords, even after they have been placed into production. Similarly, many IIoT devices transmit data as clear text. These conditions would make it relatively easy for an attacker to intercept the data coming from an IIoT device. Similarly, an attacker could take over an insecure IIoT device and use it as a platform for launching an attack
