Paper Abstract:
|
The Internet of Things (IoT) is no longer a buzz word. In place since 2008/2009 at a time when there was more "things or
objects" connected to the Internet than people, there has been an exponential rise in connected devices, and according to a
projection by the International Data Corporation (IDC), there will be 41.6 billion connected IoT devices, generating 79.4
zettabytes (ZB) of data by 2025. These IoT devices can be found within our homes, businesses and almost every industry,
like fitness and health care. With the increasing scale of IoT presenting on networks, comes the additional upsurge in
cyber-attacks on these systems and an upsurge in management of cyber vulnerabilities is needed in parallel. This paper
will review what kind of vulnerabilities IoT devices of all ages are susceptible too and what state of the art vulnerability
management practices are available to address those threats. Based on findings, we will propose the use of a
Vulnerability Risk Assessment Tool (VRAT) to determine the approximate risk an IoT device could pose, as well as
issue a recommended vulnerability management action for that device based on the risk rating. |
