Effective Cyber Security Strategies for IIoT Industrial IoT in the industry sector: Trust and Scalability

Master's thesis in Cyber security (IS507) There has been great growth in the use of IoT. It is a modern technology and is becoming increasingly popular. It is also widely used in industrial sectors where it is referred as Industrial IoT (IIoT). Although the technology can provide great benefits, it also leads to some challenges. In this thesis we will explore the security characteristics of IIoT used in industrial sectors. We will determine why and if there is a correlation between trust and scalability in IIoT infrastructure. In order to do this we will be using qualitative methods for data collection and have performed both interviews and simulations. We also use systematic literature rev…
