The economic impact of the Internet of Things will be measured in $trillions.
The number of connected devices will be measured in billions.
The resultant benefits of a connected society are significant, disruptive and transformational.
Yet, along with the opportunity, there are fears and concerns about the security of IoT systems.
The IoT Security Foundation (IoTSF) has been established as a collaborative and international response to those concerns.
Establishing Principles for Internet of Things Security
Security is an important part of almost every IoT deployment, yet it is too often neglected in the development of systems.
This primer guides the reader to important questions that should be considered when designing an IoT device, system or network.
The common theme throughout is that considering security at the design phase can not only save time and effort later, but potential embarrassment and financial loss in the future.
