Cyber threats in mobile networks are spreading like a silent pandemic, posing severe challenges to Industrial IoT security. This session will analyze cybersecurity risks in distributed IIoT environments, including lack of device visibility, insufficient traffic management, delayed firmware updates, and weak attack isolation. Focusing on three critical cybersecurity defense strategies, the session will leverage real cases and technical demonstrations to showcase innovative security solutions against mobile network attacks, fortifying IIoT resilience.

1. IIoT Content Security Defense: Enhancing device visibility with high-performance Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), network micro-segmentation, and automated threat response to effectively block malicious activities and limit attack scope.

2. IIoT Zero Trust Architecture: Implementing Network Access Control (NAC) for device authentication and compliance checks to mitigate internal security risks.

3. IIoT Device Security Design: Centering on "secure-by-design" principles, integrating international security certification standards and policy frameworks to strengthen IIoT device protection.

As AI, 5G, and smart cities evolve, critical digital infrastructure increasingly relies on public mobile networks for deployment, including EV charging stations, smart grids, transportation, and smart poles. However, this shift in Industrial IoT for public mobile environments exposes more devices to external threats, expanding attack surfaces, accelerating real-time threats, and heightening potential risks. Cyberattacks on IIoT infrastructure—such as power grids, transport, and communications—could cause severe disruptions. This session explains the security gap between IIoT and enterprise networks, presenting a strategic defense framework to strengthen IIoT resilience against evolving cyber threats.
