A PoV on the IIC Industrial Internet Reference Architecture Flexibility  The ability to add new devices, sensors, protocols, data formats, security and regulatory policies with minimal or no additional effort Maintainability  The ability to roll out new versions of the IIS platform with minimal disruption  The ability to monitor each sub-system with respect to service availability, correct functioning and fault isolation  The ability to ensure only authenticated and authorized access to IIS services and data and compliance with all regulatory requirements  Ensuring integrity of stored and streaming data  The ability to provide fine-grained policy-driven control over access to data  Ability to redact, mask, perturb and anonymize all privacy sensitive data  Resilience to varying data ingestion volumes, data rate surges/spikes, varying network conditions, DoS attacks, etc. and isolate faulty components  Disaster recovery capabilities  IIS will be part of various Safety Critical processes and safety is a key concern. It is important to implement safeguards and mechanisms to limit unsafe behavior of the IIS. Security Privacy Resilience Safety 3.1 Processes for Assuring System Characteristics An IIS is subject to compliance and regulatory requirements and will be audited for compliance. Necessary evidence must be given to assure that system characteristics have been engineered in and the platform is being operated in an appropriate manner. The IIRA recommends the use of standardized processes for Systems Engineering, Systems Operations and Systems Auditing. - 80 - December 2015
