Abstract

With the Internet of Things (IoT) enabling a cyber-reliant world of connected devices and products, many enterprises and informed buyers have begun to demand that those products be evaluated from a perspective of enterprise resilience and consumer protection, especially since much of IoT in enabled and controlled by third-party open source software. Safe and secure use of cyber assets places responsibilities on operators and users; yet realization of cyber assurance requires more focus on cyber hygiene in the supply chain. It requires network-connectable devices to be developed and deployed with cyber-physical security and safety in mind. IoT devices need to be patchable to be responsive to a changing threat environment, and before being deployed, they should be independently evaluated not to possess exploitable weaknesses, known vulnerabilities, and malware.
