The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a relatively new computing paradigm that combines machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), remote sensors, and device-control applications (or “apps”) to help businesses and industry achieve more efficient and reliable operations. In the oil and gas field, IIoT is used for a variety of purposes—from fully autonomous pump and valve control to remote sensing of security breaches at isolated wellsites.

In this sophisticated threat environment, traditional security tactics are failing. Symantec encourages organizations to revisit their security posture to build a more cyber resilient enterprise. Resilience is not defined by a series of checklists, but through evaluations based on the current threat environment and the acceptable risk level for the organization.

In many ways, the cloud1 is more secure than a traditional data center. Asset management, inventory, audit logging, two-factor access controls, connectivity redundancy and firewalls are built into the cloud provider platform. Servers are easier to patch and won’t become outdated within a few years; there aren’t any forgotten boxes sitting in a dark corner with a note reading, “DO NOT TURN OFF.” However, assets on the cloud continue to be compromised, just as those stored in traditional data centers.

Modern aerospace products are moving into containerization and micro-services. Mounting connected internal micro-services patterns in a product segregates and segments the network to support a zero-trust network security approach. Having weak internal network security of the product allows malicious actors to exploit them and elevate privileges — denying users access, jamming signals, or even shutting them down. Such interference could cause major harm to aircraft safety and operations.
