“…We identified the issues, e.g., privacy disclosure and user impersonation, in this area. In the future, potential research can be conducted with the help of advances in Artificial Technologies (AI) [173] and digital twins [174] to address such issues. The advantages of both emerging technologies (i.e., AI and digital twins) in the IIoT are promising, but at the same time, they bring various security concerns related to identity issues.…”

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) can be seen as an extension of the Internet of Things (IoT) services and applications to industry with the inclusion of Industry 4.0 that provides automation, reliability, and control in production and manufacturing. IIoT has tremendous potential to accelerate industry automation in many areas, including transportation, manufacturing, automobile, marketing, to name a few places. When the benefits of IIoT are visible, the development of large-scale IIoT systems faces various security challenges resulting in many large-scale cyber-attacks, including fraudulent transactions or damage to critical infrastructure. Moreover, a large number of connected devices over the Internet and resource limitations of the devices (e.g., battery, memory, and processing capability) further pose challenges to the system. The IIoT inherits the insecurities of the traditional communication and networking technologies; however, the IIoT requires further effort to customize the available security solutions with more focus on critical industrial control systems. Several proposals discuss the issue of security, privacy, and trust in IIoT systems, but comprehensive literature considering the several aspects (e.g., users, devices, applications, cascading services, or the emergence of resources) of an IIoT system is missing in the present state of the art IIoT research. In other words, the need for considering a vision for securing an IIoT system with broader security analysis and its potential countermeasures is missing in recent times. To address this issue, in this paper, we provide a comparative analysis of the available security issues present in an IIoT system. We identify a list of security issues comprising logical, technological, and architectural points of view and consider the different IIoT security requirements. We also discuss the available IIoT architectures to examine these security concerns in a systematic way. We show how the functioning of different layers of an IIoT architecture is affected by various security issues and report a list of potential countermeasures against them. This study also presents a list of future research directions towards the development of a large-scale, secure, and trustworthy IIoT system. The study helps understand the various security issues by indicating various threats and attacks present in an IIoT system.

As a new area of technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) is a flagship and promising paradigm for innovating society. However, IoT-based critical infrastructures are an appealing target for cybercriminals. Such distinctive infrastructures are increasingly sensitive to cyber vulnerabilities and subject to many cyberattacks. Thus, protecting these infrastructures is a significant issue for organizations and nations. In this context, raising the cybersecurity posture of critical cyber infrastructures is an extremely urgent international issue. In addition, with the rapid development of adversarial techniques, current cyber threats have become more sophisticated, complicated, advanced and persistent. Thus, given these factors, prior to implementing efficient and resilient cybersecurity countermeasures, identification and in-depth mapping of cyber threats is an important step that is generally overlooked. Therefore, to solve cybersecurity challenges, this study presents a critical analysis of the most recent cybersecurity issues for IoT-based critical infrastructures. We then discuss potential cyber threats and cyber vulnerabilities and the main exploitation strategies adopted by cybercriminals. Further, we provide a taxonomy of cyberattacks that may affect critical cyber infrastructures. Finally, we present security requirements and some realistic recommendations to enhance cybersecurity solutions.

“…This technology replaces or reduces human-made controls in food production and delivery processes, which are often unreliable and time-consuming [38]. AI helps in preventing or minimizing downtime and the persistence of dangerous situations [39]. In addition, it is often used in tasks related to the quality and classification of food in operational processes [40,41].…”

Industry 4.0 is changing the industrial environment. Particularly, the emerging Industry 4.0 technologies can improve the agri-food supply chain throughout all its stages. This study aims to highlight the benefits of implementing Industry 4.0 in the agri-food supply chain. First, it presents how technologies enhance the agri-food supply chain development. Then, it identifies and highlights the most common challenges that Industry 4.0 implementation faces in agri-food’s environment. After that, it proposes key performance indicators to measure the advantages of this implementation. To achieve this, a systematic literature review was conducted. It combined conceptual and bibliometric analyses of 78 papers. As a result, the most suitable technologies were identified, e.g., Internet of Things, Big Data, blockchain and cyber physical systems. The most used indicators are proposed and the challenges of implementation were detected and classified in three groups, i.e., technical, educational and governmental. This paper highlights and exemplifies the benefits of implementing Industry 4.0 facing the lack of knowledge that exists nowadays. Moreover, it fulfils the gaps in literature, i.e., the lack of information about the implementation of technologies 4.0 or the description of the most relevant indicators for Industry 4.0 implementation.
