Abstract

Over the past few years, there has been a growing incorporation of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the industrial sector, leading to a transformation of conventional manufacturing and operational procedures. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has brought substantial progress to industrial operations, although it has also presented novel cyber security obstacles. This article examines the cyber security challenges related to the integration of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in industrial environments. It emphasizes the weaknesses that result from the growing interconnectedness and reliance on gadgets, systems, and networks. The research highlights the potential dangers linked to illegal access, data breaches, and malicious assaults aimed at vital infrastructure, resulting in operational disruptions, financial losses, and safety issues. Additionally, it explores the distinct difficulties of safeguarding outdated systems, guaranteeing the accuracy of data, and handling the intricacy of IIoT ecosystems.
