Description
A practical, indispensable security guide that will navigate you through the complex realm of securely building and deploying systems in our IoT-connected world
Key Features
Learn to design and implement cyber security strategies for your organization
Learn to protect cyber-physical systems and utilize forensic data analysis to beat vulnerabilities in your IoT ecosystem
Learn best practices to secure your data from device to the cloud
Gain insight into privacy-enhancing techniques and technologies
Book DescriptionWith the advent of Internet of Things (IoT), businesses will be faced with defending against new types of threats. The business ecosystem now includes cloud computing infrastructure, mobile and fixed endpoints that open up new attack surfaces, a desire to share information with many stakeholders and a need to take action quickly based on large quantities of collected data. . It therefore becomes critical to ensure that cyber security threats are contained to a minimum when implementing new IoT services and solutions. . The interconnectivity of people, devices, and companies raises stakes to a new level as computing and action become even more mobile, everything becomes connected to the cloud, and infrastructure is strained to securely manage the billions of devices that will connect us all to the IoT. This book shows you how to implement cyber-security solutions, IoT design best practices and risk mitigation methodologies to address device and infrastructure threats to IoT solutions.
This book will take readers on a journey that begins with understanding the IoT and how it can be applied in various industries, goes on to describe the security challenges associated with the IoT, and then provides a set of guidelines to architect and deploy a secure IoT in your Enterprise. The book will showcase how the IoT is implemented in early-adopting industries and describe how lessons can be learned and shared across diverse industries to support a secure IoT.
What you will learn
Learn how to break down cross-industry barriers by adopting the best practices for IoT deployments
Build a rock-solid security program for IoT that is cost-effective and easy to maintain
Demystify complex topics such as cryptography, privacy, and penetration testing to improve your security posture
See how the selection of individual components can affect the security posture of the entire system
Use Systems Security Engineering and Privacy-by-design principles to design a secure IoT ecosystem
Who this book is forThis book targets IT Security Professionals and Security Engineers (including pentesters, security architects and ethical hackers) who would like to ensure security of their organization's data when connected through the IoT. Business analysts and managers will also find it useful.
