IoT security is like cake: It’s best in layers. One of the fantastic benefits we get from the Internet of Things is that it extends the convenience of digital life into our physical world.

IoT devices connect to IoT gateways or edge devices that collect data. The modern IoT is comprised of seven basic layers that reside within an Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model.

IoT devices are notoriously under-secured. Unlike traditional computing systems, these devices often come with limited processing power, hardcoded default credentials, minimal firmware protection, and ...

IoT is broad term that encompasses a lot of disparate pieces for devices, systems, and connected systems. At the highest levels are hardware and software, but within those two groupings there is ...

This process also works with other IoT devices, sensors and even IP cameras. The PNS establishes peer-to-peer authentication in the IoT sensor identity Transport Layer Security (TLS).

If we look at it, Level 0 represents the physical machines, Level 1 represents the “Cyber-physical” layer, where the kinetic world intersects with the digital world, and “Controllers” live.

While the overall topic of IoT risk is fascinating, especially in regards to third parties, for this blog post, I’m sticking to the risk management angle and how IoT adds a complicated layer. Why is ...

Software AG's Jost has further clarified the way IoT software works by talking about the three layers of technology here. Device (10% analytics happens here) Gateway (20% analytics happens here) ...

As IoT-enabled devices can be deployed and remain active in the field for long period of time, it’s important to provide feature and technical updates to each layer to stay relevant.
