3 IOT SECURITY PROBLEM SPACES
AND CHALLENGES
This study identifies 11 cybersecurity challenges in the IoT
landscape based on a review of existing literature as well
as expert input from the International IoT Security
Roundtables and conversations with practitioners and
policymakers during and after the Roundtables.55 Figure 6
maps the identified challenges to three problem spaces:
Principles, Governance and Legislation; Ecosystem
Development; and Technical References and Standards.
This study explores these IoT security challenges in a
domain-agnostic manner, with IoT devices modelled as
generic resource-constrained devices that require security
controls. Orthogonal to the generic approach would be a
domain-specific approach; a given domain can impose
specific physical and technological constraints and have
specific security requirements. We briefly address in Annex
A the IoT security requirements in two rapidly-growing
domains: smart mobility and smart health.
