Cloud and On-premises Based Security Solution for Industrial IoT

In this paper, we take Industrial IoT (IloT) as a main point, where we touch on the direction of Industrial IoT concepts and connectivity protocols used by Industrial IoT devices. Moreover, we go into deep security challenges the Industrial ecosystem faces. Nowadays, most industries focus on specific protocols in their smart IoT devices. In return, we mainly focus on Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol, MQTT server where IoT devices are connected to it, and secure connectivity among server, cloud, and end user. Our purpose here is to describe the security approach for server and cloud-based environments and the utilization of cloud security tools such as IoT-hub, Network Security Group (NSG) and virtual private network (VPN). In more detail, here we have indicated proposed solution by separating into device, on-premises and cloud zone sections, proper technologies which are being used in modern security approaches and comparison with traditional IoT security approaches. This article enables readers to obtain fundamental knowledges on available technologies which are utilized in industrial areas and real-time scenarios where this solution is deployed.
