Book Description

The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) is about digital transformation, manufacturing, and production. The connected world we live in today, including industries, comes with several cybersecurity challenges that need immediate attention. This book will take you through IoT and OT Architecture basics and help you understand and mitigate security challenges.

The book starts with an overview of security challenges in IoT and OT devices in Industry 4.0. Understanding the Purdue model of reference architecture, you will dive into the common cyber attacks on IoT and OT environments. As you progress further, you will be introduced to Microsoft Defender for IoT and you will understand its capabilities in securing IoT and OT environments. Finally, you will learn best practices to achieve continuous monitoring, vulnerability management, threat monitoring and hunting, and to align the business model towards Zero Trust.

By the end of this book, you will have a good understanding of securing IoT and OT environments with Microsoft Defender for IoT.
