Abstract

The increasing adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) brings significant cybersecurity challenges due to the complexity and interconnectedness of industrial systems. This paper explores how business process management (BPM) can be applied to overcome these challenges by embedding security considerations into each phase of the BPM lifecycle: discovery, modeling, execution, and monitoring. Bringing together different research directions, including process mining, BPMN extensions and security compliance monitoring, this work provides a comprehensive overview of existing approaches to improve IIoT security. The paper presents opportunities for integrating security-aware processes into IIoT environments and provides insights into how organizations can use BPM to ensure continuous security enforcement and compliance. The study highlights current gaps and outlines opportunities for future development in the integration of BPM and IIoT security.
