ENDPOINT PROTECTION
Endpoints are any element of an IIoT system that has both computation and communications
capabilities and exposes functional capabilities. These may be edge devices, communications
infrastructure, cloud servers or anything in between. Each endpoint has different requirements
and hardware constraints that affect the level of protection that can be achieved. Security
mechanisms and techniques should be applied to the endpoints depending on their specific
function and security requirements.
