Industrial IoT Overview & Case Studies

Stefan and I had the pleasure of joining a one-day closed workshop on Industrial IoT Security. As always, we ended up with plenty of new research ideas and great contacts. We hope of course to post on follow-up research, but in this short post we quickly want to publish our slides which contain our input for the workshop. We mainly presented on IT security challenges for modern IIoT environments and presented some case studies for successful hardening/protection of IIoT environments as well as security in IIoT product development.

You can find our slides here.
