The Plot of the Book "Industrial Internet of Things Security Protecting AI-Enabled Engineering Systems in Cloud and Edge Environments" In the not-too-distant future, the world has become increasingly interconnected through the proliferation of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). As these technologies continue to advance and integrate into our daily lives, it is crucial that we prioritize their security to protect against potential threats and vulnerabilities. This book, "Industrial Internet of Things Security Protecting AI-Enabled Engineering Systems in Cloud and Edge Environments sheds light on the importance of securing IIoT systems in cloud and edge environments to ensure the safety and reliability of AI-enabled engineering systems. The story begins with the introduction of the IIoT and its rapid growth, as well as the integration of AI into these systems. The author highlights the potential benefits of this convergence, such as increased efficiency, productivity, and innovation, but also emphasizes the risks associated with it, including cyber attacks, data breaches, and system failures.
