Obstacles to IoT Adoption

By all accounts there are billions of network-connected devices and sensors on the Internet today.  Not counting mobile phones and traditional network devices like PCs, industry analysts forecast upwards of fifty billion network-accessible "things" by 2020.  While IoT's potential possibilities are seemingly endless, two crucial components of widespread IoT adoption by enterprises have been overlooked:

Security and Privacy.

Security Vulnerabilities Abound

Study after study has revealed vulnerabilities in Internet-connected IoT devices and sensors.  And not just weaknesses in one or two devices - but in thousands of them.  Thus, it may come as no surprise when survey results conducted by analyst firms identify security and privacy concerns among the chief barriers to IoT adoption by enterprises.

Certification Testing Can Help

ICSA Labs is an ISO-accredited, independent, third-party testing lab with nearly 25 years of computer and network security testing experience. Using our IoT Device Requirements Framework as a basis, we can formulate test requirements for any IoT device type. We then perform security and privacy related tests mapping to those criteria requirements.  We can even certify IoT devices of all kinds following testing.
 
With ICSA Labs IoT security testing you reduce supply chain risk, improve your market standing, free up internal resources caught up in vulnerability and patch management, protect the customer's and your own senstive information, preserve your company brand, and avoid the high cost of remediation.
