Controlling access to IoT resources Course
1 hour, 2 minutes
Course description
The IoT security practitioner should aim to ensure that the confidentiality, integrity and availability of IoT resources are maintained. These goals are largely achieved through the three related concepts of authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA).
Syllabus
Implement security monitoring on IoT systems
Video - 00:11:00
For the IoT security practitioner, it is essential to understand what events are occurring within the systems you are responsible for. Being able to see when users log in to devices or services and when they fail a login are important to security practitioners. Effective security logging and monitoring will enable you to know immediately when there are cybersecurity events that require your attention, and to quickly understand what is happening in your IoT systems.
Implement secure authorization

Once attackers have gained network access to a host (such as a client computer or server, web application, and so forth), the next step they will perform is to gain the right to perform tasks on the host. Secure authorization features should prevent an attacker from doing this.
Implement secure authentication

Before the system can control and track who is accessing IoT resources, it must first establish the identity of users. This is accomplished through authentication.

An important step in risk management is to assess the potential consequences should they become reality. This will help you determine where you should place your priorities and the effort you should expend to mitigate or avoid the risks. In many ways, IoT "ups the stakes" for cyberattackers, and strong authentication, authorization and accounting are essential to a strong defense.
