Securing an IIoT SaaS platform using blockchain and machine learning methods

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a scalable platform that integrates devices over the internet and runs different services such as energy and facility management easier than SCADA and similar industrial control systems (ICS). These platforms shall be designed securely and manage devices in a safe environment. However, existing IIoT platforms are not secure by design. Edgecom Energy has developed an IIoT platform based on blockchain technology to address security concerns. This project wilk further improve the security of this IIoT platform at the levels of Operational Technology using blockchain and machine learning methods.
