Practical Internet of Things Security

By: Drew Van Duren, Brian Russell

Overview of this book

With the advent of Internet of Things (IoT), businesses will be faced with defending against new types of threats. The business ecosystem now includes cloud computing infrastructure, mobile and fixed endpoints that open up new attack surfaces, a desire to share information with many stakeholders and a need to take action quickly based on large quantities of collected data. . It therefore becomes critical to ensure that cyber security threats are contained to a minimum when implementing new IoT services and solutions. . The interconnectivity of people, devices, and companies raises stakes to a new level as computing and action become even more mobile, everything becomes connected to the cloud, and infrastructure is strained to securely manage the billions of devices that will connect us all to the IoT. This book shows you how to implement cyber-security solutions, IoT design best practices and risk mitigation methodologies to address device and infrastructure threats to IoT solutions. This book will take readers on a journey that begins with understanding the IoT and how it can be applied in various industries, goes on to describe the security challenges associated with the IoT, and then provides a set of guidelines to architect and deploy a secure IoT in your Enterprise. The book will showcase how the IoT is implemented in early-adopting industries and describe how lessons can be learned and shared across diverse industries to support a secure IoT.

Privacy engineering recommendations


Privacy engineering is a relatively new discipline that seeks to ensure systems, applications, and devices are engineered to conform to privacy policies. This section provides some recommendations for setting up and operating a privacy engineering capability in your IoT organization.

Whether a small start-up or a large Silicon Valley tech company, chances are you are developing products and applications that will require PbD capabilities built in from the ground up. It is crucial that the engineering processes are followed to engineer a privacy-respecting IoT system from the outset and not bolt the protections on later. The right people and processes are first needed to accomplish this.

Privacy throughout the organization

Privacy touches a variety of professions in the corporate and government world; attorneys and other legal professionals, engineers, QA, and other disciplines become involved in different capacities in the creation and adoption of privacy...
