In an increasingly connected world full of new IOT technologies, the security risks are becoming the single biggest challenge as we advance toward a fully tech-enabled society. Kaspersky's security strategy is always - SECURE BY DESIGN.

5. IoT ATTACKS
MIRAI
Mirai’s name comes from the discovered binaries having the
name “mirai.()” and was initially discovered in August 2016. It arrives
as an ELF Linux executable and focuses mainly on DVRs,
routers, web IP cameras, Linux servers, and other devices that
are running Busybox, a common tool for IoT embedded devices.
BASHLITE
Infects Linux systems in order to launch distributed denial-of-
service attacks (DDoS). In 2014 BASHLITE exploited the
Shellshock software bug to exploit devices running BusyBox.
In 2016 it was reported that one million devices have been
infected with BASHLITE.

MAIN CONSIDERATIONS FROM A CYBER SECURITY PERSPECTIVE
 Human mistakes
 Usage of 3rd party software
and libraries
 Software Complexity
(Number of Lines of Code
increasing dramatically)
INSECURE DESIGN
VULNERABILITIES
 Time to market pressure
 Rapidly changing technology landscape
INSECURITY OF CONVENTIONAL
OPERATING SYSTEMS

7. Kaspersky Lab | Future of embedded and IoT security: Kaspersky Operating System7
WHY CONVENTIONAL OPERATING SYSTEMS ARE DANGEROUS…
 Monolithic system where any module
can call any other one
 With help of exploitation of arbitrary
code execution vulnerability it is
possible to call any other module
regardless of security settings
 Uncontrolled usage of 3rd party
libraries
 Adversaries can get control over
whole system with help of only one
vulnerability
 Poor security settings due to various
reasons (lack of expertise, other
priorities, lack of time…)
 Wide attack surface

8. Kaspersky Lab | Future of embedded and IoT security: Kaspersky Operating System8
THE ONLY REAL SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM…
Create an environment that simply won't allow
the program to perform undeclared functions
and prevent exploiting of vulnerabilities.
MAIN PRINCIPLES OF SECUREOS
Secure by design system
MILS with reference monitor approach
Microkernel based
Meets specific requirements for embedded systems

9. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR AN EMBEDDED OPERATING SYSTEM
SMALL SIZE AND MINIMUM
RESOURCE USAGE
Most of the embedded
systems use limited
hardware resources (RAM,
ROM, CPU)
OUT OF THE BOX SECURITY –
OR AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE
Most embedded systems have
somewhat unique security
requirements. Simplicity in
security settings reduces time
to market and effort required to
roll out
Kaspersky Lab | Future of embedded and IoT security: Kaspersky Operating System9
STABLE FUNCTIONALITY
EVEN WHEN UNDER ATTACK
One has to think about
possible threats and threat
vectors in advance – and
maintain stability throughout
COMPLIANCE WITH INDUSTRY
STANDARDS
A system has to be designed
and programmed in accordance
With industrial safety and
security standards

KASPERSKYOS // OVERVIEW
 Designed for embedded connected systems with
specific requirements for cyber security
 Based on the separation kernel which guarantees the
control of all internal system communications
 Behavior of every module is pre described via
security policies
 Separate business applications from security (easier
to develop and support, decrease time to market,
increase security and safety)
 MILS architecture
Domain separation/isolation
Flexible internal
communications control via
Kaspersky Security System
(KSS)
Kaspersky Secure OS

11. BENEFITS OF KASPERSKYOS
INHERENT SECURITY
KasperskyOS is an operating
system that is secure by design
and we intend to keep it that way
by using the best practices of
software development
FLEXIBLE SECURITY
CONFIGURATION
Well-designed configuration tools
make it easy to create declarative rule
definitions and combinations of rules
to control interactions in the system.
Kaspersky Lab | Future of embedded and IoT security: Kaspersky Operating System11
VERSATILE MODULAR
ARCHITECTURE
Building the system based on
loosely coupled modules helps to
minimize the amount of trusted
code and tailor each solution to
the customer’s specific needs
SEPARATION OF APPLICATION
FEATURES FROM SECURITY
FUNCTIONS
The security architecture is designed
to separate security functions from
application business logic, making
both configuring security policies and
developing applications easier

12. 12
BEYOND THE OS: EMBEDDED SECURITY FOR ALL…
• Default Deny only installation mode
• Low system requirements (256MB system memory)
• Low traffic consumption (no regular AV updates)
• No internet connection required
• Executable files, DLLs, Drivers
• Hash sum check, signatures check, destination check
• Optional 2-layer check for whitelisted applications with Kaspersky Private
Security Network
…EVEN THOSE RUNNING LESS SECURE OPERATING SYSTEMS:
• Windows XP Embedded
• Windows 2009 Embedded
• Windows XP Pro
• Windows 7 Embedded POSReady
• Windows 7 Embedded Standard
• Windows Embedded 8.0 Standard
• Windows 10 IoT

Isolation of every single module
Minimization impact of vulnerabilities
Protection of sensitive data (i.e. encryption keys,
user’s data, secure storage)
Secure boot
 System Security by design - the only way to secure IoT devices!
1. Smart CCTV camera (does image processing on a
device and send processed data to a server)
2. Smart hub (all sensors and end devices connected to it)
EXAMPLE
Connected to the Internet and Powerful enough
(not MCU based) devices like:
KASPERSKYOS

15. USE CASES – IOT FOR CONNECTED CARS
Kaspersky Lab | Future of embedded and IoT security: Kaspersky Operating System15
Isolation of infotainment from safety critical system
(advanced driver assistance systems, AUTOSAR)
Minimise impact of vulnerabilities in every domain
Protection of sensitive data (i.e. encryption keys, logs,
telematics data) from unauthorised access
Secure boot and protection against unauthorised
modification of firmware and software (i.e. malware
infection, unauthorised modifications)
 System Security by Design
 Can be used in Central gateway, Head unit or specific ECU/TCU
