Practical Internet of Things Security - Second Edition

The IoT, networks, and the cloud

IoT data is very often sent directly to the cloud for processing, and as such, providing a basic understanding of the cloud architectures that support your IoT systems should also be an aspect of your IoT training program.

Similarly, as new network architectures are adopted over time (which can better support different IoT deployment paradigms), inclusion of more adaptable, scalable, and dynamically responsive Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) capabilities should also be included.

New functionality may be needed for supporting dynamic policies with regard to IoT behavior on networks.
