Practical Internet of Things Security - Second Edition

By: Brian Russell, Drew Van Duren

Overview of this book

With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), businesses have to defend against new types of threat. The business ecosystem now includes the cloud computing infrastructure, mobile and fixed endpoints that open up new attack surfaces. It therefore becomes critical to ensure that cybersecurity threats are contained to a minimum when implementing new IoT services and solutions. This book shows you how to implement cybersecurity solutions, IoT design best practices, and risk mitigation methodologies to address device and infrastructure threats to IoT solutions. In this second edition, you will go through some typical and unique vulnerabilities seen within various layers of the IoT technology stack and also learn new ways in which IT and physical threats interact. You will then explore the different engineering approaches a developer/manufacturer might take to securely design and deploy IoT devices. Furthermore, you will securely develop your own custom additions for an enterprise IoT implementation. You will also be provided with actionable guidance through setting up a cryptographic infrastructure for your IoT implementations. You will then be guided on the selection and configuration of Identity and Access Management solutions for an IoT implementation. In conclusion, you will explore cloud security architectures and security best practices for operating and managing cross-organizational, multi-domain IoT deployments.

Chapter 3. Approaches to Secure Development

IoT systems are evolving, as new capabilities that take advantage of IoT connectivity continue to be introduced. Autonomous shuttles will soon ferry riders around connected cities, relying on streams of environmental and traffic data to operate safely and make scheduling decisions.

Manufacturing plants are already incorporating collaborative robots (cobots) that increase efficiency and improve performance. Industrial control systems are gaining access to new data sources, for better decision making through cloud connectivity.

These new complex and connected engineering projects must be designed to be safe and resilient, while at the same time assuring the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information.

This chapter discusses processes and approaches that can be used to develop safe, secure, and resilient IoT systems. We will cover the following topics:

  • The Secure Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
  • Handling non-functional requirements
  • Verification...
