Abstract
In Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the absence of standardized
forensic processes presents substantial hurdles to effective
investigations. As IIoT devices become ubiquitous in critical
infrastructure, ensuring consistency and reliability in forensic
procedures becomes imperative. This paper aims to front the critical
need for standardized IIoT forensic processes, challenges, impact and
industry and government roles in achieving this. In addition, a taxonomy
of forensic processes in IIoT has been suggested. By addressing
concerns, the objective is to pave the way for consistent and effective
forensic investigations across varied IIoT landscapes through
standardized approaches.
