Project description

Offering IoT stakeholders a high level of security

The Internet of Things (IoT) provides numerous business opportunities. However, it also comes with new challenges such as compromised security, heightening the importance of IoT infrastructure security management. In line with this, the EU-funded CERTIFY project will define a methodological, technological and organisational approach towards IoT security life cycle management. The project will also design and implement a cybersecurity life cycle management framework for IoT devices that will operate by gathering and sharing information both internally and externally. Project work will pave the way for innovative privacy and security approaches in a broad spectrum of IoT environments.

Objective

Cyber-attacks get more sophisticated every day, thus affecting a large number of IoT-related infrastructures and raising security and privacy concerns of consumers and businesses. Security management of IoT infrastructures encompassing full lifecycle of products and continuous certification are fundamental tools to guarantee a high-level of security, as emphasized by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) Cybersecurity Act (CSA).
CERTIFY defines a methodological, technological, and organizational approach towards IoT security lifecycle management based on (i) security by design support, (ii) continuous security assessment and monitoring (iii) timely detection, mitigation, and reconfiguration, (iv) secure IoT Over-The-Air (OTA) updating, and (v) continuous security information sharing.
To ensure the security compliance throughout the lifetime of the device, we propose the design and implementation of a cybersecurity lifecycle management framework for IoT devices. The framework is intended to support the device security management by collecting and sharing relevant security information both internally (via monitoring and self-assessment services) and externally, e.g. by interacting with device manufacturers, threat databases, certification authorities, Information Sharing and Analysis Centres (ISACs), and more. The received information is meant to support the local decision making with respect to the security, monitoring, updating and configuration of the device. Moreover, this information sharing will enable a continuous risk assessment, gathering evidence that could agile future certifications.
CERTIFY's provides IoT stakeholders with mechanisms achieving high-level of security. CERTIFY will detect and respond to a wide spectrum of attack, in a collaborative/decentralized fashion. CERTIFY will validate the architecture through cutting-edge use-cases and pave the way towards innovative security in a broad spectrum of IoT environments.
