CYBERSECURITY ANALYSIS OF WEB-ORIENTED INDUSTRIAL IOT-SYSTEMS

Abstract

In modern world cybersecurity ensuring is one of the most crucial issues, especially in the context of the dynamic development of web-oriented industrial Internet of Things (IoT) systems. The subject of research of the paper is cybersecurity ensuring of web-oriented industrial IoT systems. The purpose of the paper is to analyze existing methods of cybersecurity analysis, identify limitations, and formulate requirements for a new assessment concept, which includes ways to eliminate identified limitations. Tasks to be solved: analysis of existing methods, tools and technologies for the organization of web-oriented industrial IoT systems and the problems of ensuring their cyber security. Applied methods: source analysis, system analysis. Obtained results: The analysis of sources has shown that the problems of industrial IoT systems cybersecurity ensuring are relevant due to the use in one system of both the latest information technologies (IT) and traditional operational technologies (OT), such as industrial protocols, etc. In addition, the ever-increasing number and types of attacks aimed specifically at industrial IoT systems are additional drivers for the further development of the cybersecurity assessing and ensuring methods. A generalized concept of the cybersecurity assessing and ensuring process of web-oriented industrial IoT systems is proposed, which includes the stages of identification, analysis, security enhancement, detection and protection. Conclusions: The issue of the cybersecurity ensuring of the web-oriented industrial IoT systems is extremely relevant, and the existing analysis methods and ensuring means do not fully satisfy the existing requirements for such systems. That is why the development and implementation of the proposed concept of cybersecurity assessing and ensuring will allow to significantly influence the improvement of industrial IoT systems cybersecurity.
