Mitigating IoT security vulnerabilities
Providing a robust security posture is a complex endeavor and requires the active involvement of different parties throughout the solution life cycle. Following the guidelines (or preferably a combination thereof) mentioned in this section would help to provide a credible defense against potential threats/vulnerabilities:
- Using AI/ML techniques: These are effective deterrents against increasingly sophisticated security attacks. AI/ML techniques can monitor network traffic as well as device data to flag suspicious behavior. Manual monitoring is no longer an option due to the ever-increasing list of attack vectors.
These techniques rely on using context-aware access controls at all layers of the IoT stack to allow only the expected actions and behaviors. The system behavior is monitored for a reasonable period to establish a baseline of expected behaviors and anomaly thresholds and the accumulated baseline data is used to flag malicious...
