The secure IoT system implementation lifecycle
In Chapter 3, Security Engineering for IoT Development, we addressed security design within the overarching IoT system implementation lifecycle. This chapter focuses on the other critical aspects of the IoT security lifecycle, to include implementation and integration, operation and maintenance, and disposal. The following figure provides a graphical depiction of the IoT security lifecycle that begins with the introduction of safety, privacy, and security engineering in the system design stage, and concludes with the secure disposal of IoT assets as their effective lifetime is reached.
Implementation and integration
End-user organizations will have many options for deploying functional IoT capabilities. Some organizations will develop IoT systems themselves; however, many options will exist for the procurement of pre-packaged IoT systems that include IoT devices with pre-established connectivity to edge infrastructures, cloud interfaces, backend...
