Cybersecurity Policy Report, NIST Publishes Draft Handbook on IoT Cybersecurity, (Apr 3, 2024)
A draft handbook that offers cybersecurity “concepts and considerations” for manufacturers of Internet of things products was published today by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
“As interest in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has grown, so have concerns and attention to cybersecurity of the newly network-connected products and services offered in many sectors, including energy services, water/waste-water services, automobiles, consumer electronics, and government,” according to the draft Product Development Cybersecurity Handbook.
“The handbook describes concepts important to developing and deploying secure IoT products for any sector or use case, including discussion of IoT Product architecture, deployment, roles and cybersecurity perspectives,” NIST said.
“This publication extends and elaborates on NIST’s prior work related to development of IoT products. In addition to discussing the concepts, this publication also demonstrates their application and discusses how satisfaction of cybersecurity in IoT products can be approached,” it added.
Comments on the draft handbook should be submitted by May 17 at iotsecurity@nist.gov.
