IoT Best Security Practices
One of the biggest challenges with the Internet of Things (IoT) is the security headache that comes with it. This issue is exacerbated in the enterprise, where connected devices often control large, dangerous machines, or send and receive sensitive data. While the IoT can bring new data and helpful insights, it also introduces new vulnerabilities into your organization. As such, it’s critical that enterprises consider the security implications of an IoT deployment before moving forward.
Securing an IoT infrastructure requires a rigorous security-in-depth strategy. This strategy requires you to secure data in the cloud, protect data integrity while in transit over the public internet, and securely provision devices. Each layer builds greater security assurance in the overall infrastructure.
According to the IEEE document on IoT security the best practices for businesses, schools, factories, and other organizations looking to improve their IoT security are:
1. Making hardware tamper-resistant
Some IoT devices may operate continuously unattended and not subject to the security implied by this frequent, direct human observation…
