Challenges and mitigation Strategy for IoT Communication Security P K Singh DDG (SA), DoT
Why IoT Security is so essential ? Era of IoT Advent of IPv6 and Wi-Fi Network quantum jump in data exchange via IoT Security vis a vis Device price Recent Security incidents Mirai , Reaper, Mozi St Jude Medical IoT Security Breaches In Healthcare The upside is that we are able to do things we never before imagined. But as with every good thing, there s a downside to IoT
IoT Security Different than Traditional? Consequences - IoT security failures might cause a direct loss of life Adversaries - different goals, motivations, methods and capabilities Composition compute resources, size and power constraints contexts and environments - economics - drive device costs to a minimum Timescales -
IoT Security Challenges Weak password protection Lack of regular patches and updates and weak update mechanism Insecure interfaces Insecure development Insufficient data protection Poor IoT device management The IoT skills gap Complexity and Lack of standards & interoperability Insufficient device resources
Mitigation Strategy Secure the IoT Network - traditional endpoint security features Use IoT Security Analytics - detect IoT-specific attacks and intrusions, Authenticate the IoT Devices - robust authentication mechanisms such as two-factor authentication, digital certificates, and biometrics Use IoT Data Encryption - standard cryptographic algorithms and fully-encrypted key lifecycle management Use IoT PKI Security Methods - X.509 digital certificate, cryptographic key, and life-cycle capabilities including public/private key generation, distribution, management, and revocation
Mitigation Strategy contd.. Use IoT API Security Methods - authorized devices, developers, and apps are communicating with APIs Test the IoT Hardware - robust testing framework in place to ensure the security of IoT hardware Develop Secured IoT Apps - perfect balance between the User Interface and Security of their IoT apps. Avoid Launching IoT Devices in a Rush - proper planning for the long-term support for the security of their IoT devices and applications Beware of Latest IoT Security Threats & Breaches - device makers and app developers must beware of the latest IoT security threats and breaches
Security is a journey , not a destination
