The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has transformed the industrial sector by expanding the attack surface and introducing unprecedented physical risks. Digital forensics applied to IIoT devices, a cornerstone of Industry 4.0, presents specific challenges and opportunities for post-incident analysis. The article addresses the technical limitations and future prospects of this discipline in a context where critical infrastructures are exposed to threats such as Stuxnet, ransomware, or targeted attacks (spear phishing). No specific dates, precise figures, or detailed technical solutions are mentioned.
