Practical Internet of Things Security

Vulnerabilities, Attacks, and Countermeasures

This chapter elaborates on attack methods against IoT implementations and deployments, how attacks are organized into attack trees, and how IoT cyber-physical systems complicate the threat landscape. We then rationalize a systematic methodology for incorporating countermeasures to secure the IoT. We will explore both typical and unique vulnerabilities seen within various layers of an IoT technology stack, and describe new ways in which electronic and physical threats interact. We provide a tailored approach to threat modeling to show the reader how to develop and maintain usable threat models in their own organizations.

We will explore vulnerabilities, attacks, and countermeasures, and methods of managing them through the following chapter subsections:

Primer on threats, vulnerability, and risks 

A substantial amount of academic wrangling has evolved competing definitions for the concepts of threats, vulnerability, and risks. In the interest of keeping this volume practical and usable, we first revisit in this section what the information assurance industry has termed the five pillars of information assurance. These pillars, or domains, of information assurance represent the highest-level categories of assurance in an information system. Next, we will introduce two additional pillars that are critically important in cyber-physical systems. Once introduced, we then explore IoT threats, vulnerabilities, and risks.

The classic pillars of information assurance

It is nearly...

Primer on attacks and countermeasures

Now that we have briefly visited threats, vulnerabilities, and risk, let's dive into greater detail on the types and compositions of attacks present in the IoT and how they can be put together to perform attack campaigns. In this section, we will also introduce attack trees (and fault trees) to help readers visualize and communicate how real-world attacks can happen. It is also our hope that they gain wider adoption and use in broader threat modeling activities, not unlike the threat model example later in this chapter.

Common IoT attack types

There are many attack types covered in this book; however, the following list provides some of the most significant as they relate to the IoT...

Today's IoT attacks

Many of today's attacks against consumer IoT devices have been largely conducted by researchers with the goal of bettering the state of IoT security. These attacks often gain wide attention, and many times result in changes to the security posture of the device being tested. Conducted responsibly, this type of white hat and gray hat testing is valuable because it helps manufacturers address and fix vulnerabilities before widespread exploitation is achieved by those with less benevolent motives.

It is generally bittersweet news for manufacturers, however. Many manufacturers struggle with how to properly respond to vulnerabilities reported by security researchers. Some organizations actively enlist the aid of the research community, and some organizations operate their own bug bounty programs for which security professionals are encouraged to find and...

Lessons learned and systematic approaches

IoT systems can be highly complex implementations that encompass many technology layers. Each layer has the potential to introduce new vulnerabilities into the overall IoT system. Our discussions related to potential airline attacks as well as real-world automobile attacks provide glimpses into understanding how overcoming the vulnerabilities of each component within a system is critical in combating highly motivated attackers from reaching their goals. This becomes even more concerning as the IoT intersects safety and security engineering in the physical and electronic worlds. Described earlier, collaboration between the security engineering discipline and other engineering disciplines is needed now to allow system designers to build security into the foundations of their products and guard against attacks that focus specifically...

Summary

This chapter explored IoT vulnerabilities, attacks, and countermeasures by illustrating how an organization can practically define, characterize, and model an IoT system's threat posture. With a thorough understanding of the security (and in some cases, safety) risks, appropriate security architectural development can commence so that appropriate mitigations are developed and deployed to systems and devices throughout the enterprise.

In Chapter 3, Approaches to Secure Development, we will discuss the IoT security life cycle.

Key benefits

  • Learn best practices to secure your data from the device to the cloud
  • Use systems security engineering and privacy-by-design principles to design a secure IoT ecosystem
  • A practical guide that will help you design and implement cyber security strategies for your organization

Description

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.

Who is this book for?

This book targets IT Security Professionals and Security Engineers (including pentesters, security architects and ethical hackers) who would like to ensure the security of their organization's data when connected through the IoT. Business analysts and managers will also find this book useful.

This is a well-written book with plain language and structured presentation of the subject it deals, suitable for all types of readers, both the savvy and the uninitiated. I had already a significant exposure and understanding of IT security but I wasn't well versed in the IoT security so this book offered me new knowledge for the IoT security while simultaneously made me refresh the basic tenets of IT security.Overall, it's worth reading; good size font, well organised sections and subsections make its studying a pleasant action.I give it four stars rather than five as a couple of web links suggested weren't live anymore (even though that's not the author's blame), and also the advertised .pdf file with the diagrams included in the book in colour, wasn't available at the Packt web link provided.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
