Resilience Evaluation of Cyber Risks in Industrial Internet of Things

Abstract

Wireless communication is one of the most implemented solutions, allowing a high level of interconnectivity in different networks, including industrial critical systems responsible for production control and safety. Performance improvements with the increase in wireless connectivity between "things", however, are followed by the increase in vulnerabilities due to the risks related to the security of wireless networks. Thus, this study aims to provide a view of the wireless communication vulnerabilities in the context of applications for industrial environments, assess maturity of current technologies in critical systems and provide a map of resilience measures to be adopted to anticipate and mitigate risks.
