Defining the IoT Security market
Definitions:
The large growth of devices that leverage sensor-based
technologies and are connected to the Internet has
created concern about the security and privacy risks to
corporate data assets. As a vital component to an
enterprise Internet of Things solution, IoT security
products and services are required to meet the complex
and unique security needs of a specific IoT platform or
environment.
3
Enabling Technologies:
IoT security products and services consist of traditional
and emerging enterprise IT security solutions that are
designed and/or customized to manage IoT
ecosystems, as well as new security assets specific to
IoT.
Example products and solutions:
• Cloud-based threat analysis and advanced malware protection
• Network and perimeter cyber security solutions
• Incident response solutions
• Security hardware and software embedded in endpoint devices
“As we become increasingly reliant on
intelligent, interconnected devices in every
aspect of our lives, how do we protect
potentially billions of them from intrusions and
interference that could compromise personal
privacy or threaten public safety?.” Wind River:

Internet of Things Security – 4 trends to watch in 2016
1. IoT brings a variety of security attacks.
Hackers will devise new methodologies for
attacking IoT networks, creating demand for more
sophisticated security solutions and related skill
sets.
2. IoT networks require constant monitoring.
Enterprises that house sensitive data, such as
healthcare and financial services, will be willing to
pay a premium to ensure full security in their IoT
solutions.
3. New IoT authentication platforms required.
Vendors push authentication platforms with
capability for device-to-device verification,
improving the security of device interactions in IoT
environments.
4. Edge computing decreases security risks.
Edge computing is the direction many IoT platform
vendors are exploring, lauded for its ability to
carry out analysis at the source of data rather
than pass the data to the cloud.

“Gartner predicts that by 2020, more than 25
percent of identified attacks in enterprises will
involve IoT, although IoT will account for less than
10 percent of IT security budgets.” Gartner
“The potential damage to people, possessions,
businesses and national critical infrastructure from
a successful attack on cyber-physical systems
through the rapidly emerging Internet of Things
(IoT), cannot be underestimated.” Beecham
Research

Internet of Things Security – Adoption Challenges
1. Multiple devices across multiple platforms. There are
expected to be 40 billion devices connected wirelessly to the
Internet by 2020. The amount and range of connected
devices creates opportunity for tampering from multiple entry
points.
2. Lack of consensus on how IoT security should be
implemented. When reviewing products, there is little
consensus among providers and few that adopt a full
lifecycle approach to IoT security.
3. The “race to IoT” can cause organizations to overlook
security vulnerabilities. Jeep’s Cherokee model SUVs
were recently exposed to a security flaw that allowed the
vehicles to be easily hacked and completely controlled,
including starting and stopping motion of the vehicle. While
this has since been rectified, this example underscores the
security challenges and potential impact of IoT-related
breaches.
4. Overloaded platforms are unable to support complex
security algorithms. A connected car creates 25 GB of
data every hour. The connected car and other related IoT
platforms are built for usability and functionality, but often are
not orchestrated to support complex security measures and
algorithms, creating challenges for firms integrating IoT into
their offerings and processes.

professionals say manufacturers are not
