The industry consortium this week published the Industrial Internet Security Framework, a dense blueprint designed to address the broad array of security issues concerning the industrial internet of things (IIoT), the increasingly connected and interconnected systems that run the world’s industrial operations.

The IIC’s new security framework is designed to help address security from multiple perspectives, including business, functional and implementation, according to officials with the consortium, which now has more than 240 members. Business managers can use the security framework to make more informed decisions based on risk assessments, while it also separates the evaluation of security into various “building blocks,” such as endpoint, communications, monitoring and configuration. Each offers best practices for implementation.
