ABSTRACT

The future of a smart manufacturing environment is based on an agile, effective, and efficient supply chain environment. A combination of connected sophisticated technologies deployed for enabling the supply chain widens the emerging threat surface. The existing security strategy used in production exposes the environment to several risks due to a lack of digital forensics, identity, and access management controls, outdated operating systems, patch management, and issues related to securely connecting legacy Industrial Control Systems using novel communication methods. To mitigate these issues a coordinated framework for cyber resilience provisioning is required to ensure trusted supply chains in Industry 5.0. Data security and privacy aspects play a vital role in mitigating supply chain risks and designing mitigation strategies as they provide insights on essential security metrics (i.e., risk and vulnerability management, accountability, evidence-based security assurance, etc.). This chapter deep dives into the Industrial IoT (IIoT) supply chain threat landscape, discusses the feasibility and efficacy of existing solutions, and articulates the literary trends surrounding opportunities and risks in cybersecurity for IIoT.
