The Internet of Things (IoT), is a concept that describes how objects that we are used in daily life will interact and negotiate with other objects over the internet. The amount of devices with Wi-Fi capabilities and built-in sensors keeps on increasing. IoT combines smart devices to provide smart services and applications like smart cities, smart healthcare, smart home, and digital farm etc. But it is very crucial to secure connected IoT devices and networks because of the nature of IoT system. In this paper, the existing works are analyzed and an IoT based
healthcare system architecture is proposed. An authentication scheme to enhance the security of the proposed healthcare system is also present.

Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovative paradigm
envisioned to provide massive applications that are now part of
our daily lives. Millions of smart devices are deployed within
complex networks to provide vibrant functionalities including
communications, monitoring, and controlling of critical infrastructures. However, this massive growth of IoT devices and the corresponding huge data traffic generated at the edge of the network created additional burdens on the state-of-the-art
centralized cloud computing paradigm due to the bandwidth and
resources scarcity. Hence, edge computing (EC) is emerging as
an innovative strategy that brings data processing and storage
near to the end users, leading to what is called EC-assisted IoT.
Although this paradigm provides unique features and enhanced
quality of service (QoS), it also introduces huge risks in data security and privacy aspects. This paper conducts a comprehensive survey on security and privacy issues in the context of EC-assisted IoT. In particular, we first present an overview of EC-assisted IoT including definitions, applications, architecture, advantages, and challenges. Second, we define security and privacy in the context of EC-assisted IoT. Then, we extensively discuss the major classifications of attacks in EC-assisted IoT and provide possible solutions and countermeasures along with the related research efforts. After that, we further classify some security and privacy issues as discussed in the literature based on security services and based on security objectives and functions. Finally, several open challenges and future research directions for secure EC-assisted IoT paradigm are also extensively provided.
With rapid growth of science and information technology, Internet of things (IoT) becomes as an integral part of daily life. The applications of IoT are expanded starting from connected cars, wearables, connected health, smart retail and healthcare. However, security issues are increasing with the increase of its use. Lack of compliances on the part of IoT manufacturers, lack of user knowledge and awareness, device update and management, lack of physical hardening and botnet attacks are considered as the major reasons for security issues in IoT based applications. In this aspect, it becomes important to analyze security issues involved with IoT and its impact on the users that has been performed in the present study

The internet of things (IoT) is used in domestic, industrial as well as mission-critical systems including homes, transports, power plants, industrial manufacturing and health-care applications. Security of data generated by such systems and IoT systems itself is very critical in such applications. Early detection of any attack targeting IoT system is necessary to minimize the damage. This paper reviews security attack detection methods for IoT Infrastructure presented in the state-of-the-art. One of the major entry points for attacks in IoT system is topology exploitation. This paper proposes a distributed algorithm for early detection of such attacks with the help of predictive descriptor tables. This paper also presents feature selection from topology control packet fields. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using an extensive simulation carried out in OMNeT++. Performance parameter includes accuracy and time required for detection. Simulation results presented in this paper show that the proposed algorithm is effective in detecting attacks ahead in time.
The advancement of IIoT 4.0 for smart factories, cities and buildings ushers in many exciting possibilities for improved automation and capabilities. IoT devices are unlocking the great potential for improved efficiency and improved user experiences. However, there are many different IoT protocols, network topologies and frequency bands, making IoT an intranet of things and not an internet of things. Therefore, in order to determine which IoT technology to use in solving your use case and future proofing your investment, an understanding of the IoT ecosystem is needed. This is the first in a series of papers describing the different protocols, topologies and frequency bands used in IoT deployments.
IoT use cases span multiple industries and domains, including healthcare, education, real estate, entertainment, and social media. As this technology has use cases in many areas, the applications are as expansive as you can imagine. Now that you know what these problems are, it's time to look at the solutions.

the world of technology is changing at an unprecedented pace, and th.docxpelise1
the world of technology is changing at an unprecedented pace, and these changes represent business opportunities as well as challenges. Mass connectivity and faster speeds create opportunities for businesses to network more devices, complete more transactions, and enhance transaction quality. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) and Internet of things (IoT) are two such technologies that represent significant opportunities for strategic cybersecurity technology professionals to create lasting value for their organizations.
IoT is the phenomenon of connecting devices used in everyday life. It provides an interactive environment of human users and a myriad of devices in a global information highway, always on and always able to provide information. IoT connections happen among many types of devices — sensors, embedded technologies, machines, appliances, smart phones — all connected through wired and wireless networks.
Cloud architectures such as software as a service have allowed for big data analytics and improved areas such as automated manufacturing. Data and real-time analytics are now available to workers through wearables and mobile devices.
Such pervasive proliferation of IoT devices gives hackers avenues to gain access to personal data and financial information and increases the complexity of data protection. Given the increased risks of data breaches, newer techniques in data loss prevention should be examined.
Increased bandwidth and increased levels of interconnectivity have allowed data to become dispersed, creating issues for big data integrity. In such a world, even the financial transactions of the future are likely to be different — Bitcoin and digital currency may replace a large portion of future financial transactions.
To survive and thrive, organizational technology strategists must develop appropriate technology road maps. These strategists must consider appropriate function, protection, and tamper-proofing of these new communications and transactions.
It will be impossible to protect data by merely concentrating on protecting repositories such as networks or endpoints. Cybersecurity strategists have to concentrate on protecting the data themselves. They will need to ensure that the data are protected no matter where they reside.:
Step2
Select Devices and Technologies
By now, you have an idea of your team members and your role on the team project. Now, it's time to get the details about the devices and technologies needed to be included in the Strategic Technology Plan for Data Loss Prevention.
You should limit the scope of this project by selecting a set of devices and technologies which are most appropriate for data loss prevention for your business mission and future success. Based on your prior knowledge of your company and based on the project roles you agreed upon in the previous step, perform some independent research on the following topics and identify a set of devices and technologies that you propose for.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that describes a totally interconnected world. It’s a world where devices of every shape and size are manufactured with “smart” capabilities that allow them to communicate and interact with other devices, exchange data, make autonomous decisions and perform useful tasks based on preset conditions.
IoT is expected to gross over $19 trillion over the next few years. However, the problem is that these ‘things’ have myths surrounding them, some of which are impacting how organizations develop the apps to support them.
Any new technology involves a certain amount of uncertainty and business risk. In the case of the Internet of Things, however, many of the risks have been exaggerated or misrepresented. While the IoT vision will take years to mature fully, the building blocks to begin this process are already in place.
Key hardware and software are either available today or under development; stakeholders need to address security and privacy concerns, and collaborate to implement the open standards that will make the IoT safe, secure, reliable and interoperable, and allow the delivery of secured services as seamlessly as possible.
In an IoT foundation, the IoT gateway is an important part. In the event that there is countless IoT devices sending information to the cloud, it is liked to incorporate IoT gateway devices to smooth out this network.
IoT gateways are pivotal parts of an IoT arrangement, as they empower availability between the IoT sensor network and the cloud. Since they are situated between the outer web and the nearby intranet, they structure a vital intersection of network.
This bunch of IoT gateway devices gets information from the IoT sensor hubs. If a particular entryway gadget goes down, it moves applications and gadget associations with the adjoining door which upholds the network and information move from that point.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

IoT 7 Critical Musts
1. IoT 7 Critical Musts
Clint Smith, P.E.
csmith@nextgconnect.com
Abstract
Making an IoT device or platform decision involves many issues to consider. This paper
discusses the seven (7) critical musts that need to be considered when deciding on your
IoT solution or service offering.
2. Next G Connect
www.nextgconnect.com 1 August 1, 2019
The internet of things (IoT) whether it is for industrial, military, commercial, enterprise or consumer devices is
anything but a simple topic. The vastness of the types of IoT devices, their operating system, capabilities, method of
communication, as well as initial and recurring cost makes selecting the proper device for the job at hand, the use
case, challenging.
The IoT decision process involves many steps or decisions however the first thing that you need to do is determine
your objective. This is more of a business decision than a technical one because the business decision should be
driving the technical decision. Specifically defining what your use case or cases are that you need to address critical
in the IoT selection process.
Selecting an IoT device or devices that meet your particular use case has numerous attributes that need to be
addressed. In addition to defining the attributes needed for an IoT device there are likely to be some tradeoffs that
will take place in the process. As with any decision the devil is always in the details and it is important to know how
to cull the potential candidate list in order to arrive at the best decision possible given what is known at the time.
For IoT decision process you can either rely on a vendor or your consultant to provide recommendations or solutions.
Keep in mind that there are numerous IoT devices and protocols which have not been commercially successful,
however many of them have seen limited roll outs resulting in stranded devices from a product enhancement.
However, I have found that it is always best to understand some of the options so the best decision can be made to
meet your needs.
Therefore, what follows are the seven critical requirements you need to consider when pursing an IoT solution. The
seven critical musts should be part of the IoT decision whether for a greenfield deployment, retrofit or enhancement.
The 7 critical must list is generic and vendor neutral on purpose. The list is also not all inclusive however it is always
easier to criticize/edit than it is to create.
IoT Decision 7 Critical Musts:
1. Objective/Purpose
2. Security (cyber/physical)
3. Data Acquisition/Functions
4. Standards and Compliance Regulations
5. Business (CapEx/OpEx/Revenue)
6. Interface /User Experience
7. Technology
Each item of the 7 Critical Musts can easily be expanded. The order is not as important as making sure they are all
addressed. However, I would keep the objective/purpose as the first step since everything else is determined from
that point onward.
1. Objective/Purpose.
Think of this as a high-level design/decision where you need to answer some questions pertaining to what
problem you are solving.
a) What is the problem you are solving and how is it being addressed now.
b) Are you offering the IoT device as a paid service or for internal consumption.
c) What do you want to control or monitor.
3. Next G Connect
www.nextgconnect.com 2 August 1, 2019
d) How do you want to convert the physical signal into some digital form.
e) What do you want to do with the data, monitor/report/act.
f) Will this involve edge computing and or artificial intelligence.

3. Data acquisition/storage and functions
Data acquisition (DAQ) is the process of measuring real-world conditions and then converting those
measurements into a digital format at some fixed time interval. The data storage is referring to where the data
provided by the IoT device as well as any post processing reside. The functions define what the IoT device,
middleware or system is going to do with the data.
a) Will the IoT device perform any Edge Process.
b) Will data be passed upstream.
c) Who will be able to access and use the data.
d) Do you need to share or make available to data to legacy or 3rd
party platforms.
e) Where will the analytics take place, cloud, local, hybrid.
f) How long do you need the data to be available, data life expectancy.
g) Are there any data storage/archive requirements and if so what.
h) What analytics will be performed on the data collected.
