Practical Internet of Things Security - Second Edition

Data security

This is one of the most important aspects of the training needed in IoT compliance programs. Administrators and engineers must be able to securely configure the range of components that make up an IoT system. This includes being able to securely configure the backend, cloud-based data storage, and analytics systems to prevent malicious or even non-malicious leakage of sensitive information.

Understanding how to classify information as sensitive or not is also an important part of this training. The diversity of data types and sensitivity levels possible in different IoT devices can introduce unanticipated security and privacy risks.
