Securing the Internet of Things is a much discussed topic at our regional cybersecurity conferences across the United States.
Now, there's a brand new IoT security model to go with those discussions and the ones you have within your organization.
The model includes details on security governance, security enablement, and hardening.
The Industrial Internet Consortium built the IoT security model for the following reasons:
"The goal of a Security Maturity Model (SMM) is to provide a path for Internet of Things (IoT) providers to know where they need to be and how to invest in security mechanisms that meet their requirements without over-investing in unnecessary security mechanisms. It seeks to help organizations identify the appropriate approach for effective enhancement of these practices where needed. Deciding where to focus limited security resources is a challenge for most organizations given the complexity of a constantly changing security landscape."
