Accenture Publishes New IoT Security Report

Accenture has just published a new report entitled "Securing the Internet of Things". While few doubt the IoT's transformative power, many recognize the new security risks that arise when businesses incorporate the IoT at the edge of their networks. In fact, businesses surveyed by the World Economic Forum identified cyber-attack vulnerabilities as their most important IoT concern.

Proposed best practices include:                                                            

• Engineer trust into connected products
• Adopt a new operational mindset
• Develop contextualized threat models
• Apply mobile and cyber/physical system (CPS) security lessons
• Adopt privacy by design (PbD) principles
• Track and use emerging standards
• Continue to educate system users
