Study Notes
Introduction to IoT
- IoT refers to the network of interconnected devices that can communicate and share data without human intervention, leading to smart and automated systems.
Security Protocols for IoT
- Encryption in IoT: uses cryptographic algorithms and protocols to safeguard sensitive information from unauthorized access and tampering.
- Authentication Mechanisms: verifies the identity of IoT devices and users using biometrics, certificates, and multi-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access.
- Ensuring Data Integrity: uses data integrity checks and validation mechanisms to detect and prevent data tampering, corruption, or unauthorized modifications.
Regulations and Compliance for IoT Security
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): sets guidelines for the collection and processing of personal data within the EU.
- Industry Standards Compliance: ensures the security and privacy of IoT device data by complying with established industry standards and regulations.
- HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act): establishes standards for the protection of sensitive healthcare information.
Incident Response for IoT Security
- Detection: detects security incidents through monitoring and analysis of IoT device activity and network behavior.
- Containment: isolates affected IoT devices to prevent further damage and limit the scope of the incident.
- Recovery: restores operations and data integrity post-incident, including forensic analysis and lessons learned documentation.
Cyber Threat Landscape for IoT
- Malware: malicious software designed to disrupt operations, steal data, or gain unauthorized access to IoT devices.
- DDoS Attacks: distributed denial of service attacks that overwhelm IoT devices with traffic, causing service disruptions.
- Social Engineering: manipulative tactics used to deceive users or gain unauthorized access to sensitive information in IoT devices.
Key Findings of IoT Reports
- IoT device traffic increased by 18% since 2022.
- IoT malware attacks have grown 400% since 2022.
- The manufacturing industry was the primary target for malware attacks.
- Businesses in Mexico and the United States were found to be the most targeted, making up 69.3% of IoT cyber attacks.
Notable IoT Cyber Attacks
- 2015: researchers hacked a Jeep SUV via Sprint network, exploiting a firmware vulnerability.
- 2016: cybercriminals in Finland disabled heating in Lappeenranta buildings using a DDoS attack.
- 2021: Verkada, a cloud-based video surveillance service, was hacked, allowing attackers to access private information and live feeds of over 150,000 cameras.
