THING-CENTRIC: Elements required to get devices talking to each other—edge computing, connectivity modules, operating systems, wearable technologies, edge gateways.
Thing-centr ic IoT Device Vulnerabi l it ies :
> Exceed effect ive encrypt ion technology
> Designed without any k ind of secur ity
> Can’t support secur ity
> Hindered abi l i ty to remotely patch endpoints
> Open to exploitat ion leading to network hacks
> Eas i ly mimicked
Thing-centr ic Network Vulnerabi l it ies :
> May not have adequate encrypt ion
> Increased vulnerabi l i ty due to number of protocols
> Flat compared with typical IT networks
> Exposure to central ized management or data system.
INTERNET-CENTRIC: Infrastructure and services required to complete an IoT solution—bandwidth, connectivity, middleware and application platforms, big data and cloud, systems integration, managed services and consulting.
Thing-centric Impact on Internet-centric Security
> Thing-centric data could contain malware and needs to be:
• Inspected • Stored• Separated • Sanit ized• Sandboxed
> No easy way to secure, patch and monitor the assets, compounding r isks
> Surface area also increases from the physical to the virtual world:
• Vulnerable appl icat ions• Compromised machine ident it ies• Targeted pol ic ies and ent it lements • Increase in the secur ity footpr int
Driving Internet-centric Security Opportunities
> New IoT use cases
> Emerging standards and protocols
> Legacy devices and things
