IoT SECURITY


IoT solutions can be stand-alone operations, or they may be complementary to existing Operational Technology solutions. In either case, a new IoT solution can introduce vulnerabilities, hence changing the risk profile of your organisation. It is therefore important to design your IoT solutions with security in mind and upfront.

There are security considerations that are fundamental to any IoT solution:

  • how secure are IoT devices?
  • is the IoT network architecture resilient?
  • is there any backdoor access, either by design or unintentional, to IoT devices/systems?
  • are roles, responsibilities, and identities established for different types of IoT users?
  • has the security of a cloud-based IoT platform been established?
Image
  • how will IoT traffic be monitored, analyzed, and behaviour established?
  • how would abnormal IoT traffic patterns be detected?
  • are IoT data securely transported and stored?
  • is IoT security aligned with your corporate security strategy?
  • and more...

The above questions illustrate the criticality of getting cybersecurity right for your IoT solution, by incorporating secure-by-design principles across every aspects of your IoT solution.
