WASHINGTON, DC — ATIS today announced release of a new report that provides the fundamentals needed to perform risk assessments for Internet of Things (IoT) applications and services. As the IoT accelerates, there is a growing need to protect all assets involved from attack and from maliciously being turned into a source of attack on other users. An Architectural Risk Analysis for Internet of Things (IoT) helps IoT designers, architects, and planners understand the risks their product or service faces so that they can address these in a direct and quantifiable way.
“Through helping to better understand the risks from cyberattacks with a wide range of intents as well as how to protect against them, this analysis makes a major contribution toward furthering IoT innovation,” said ATIS President and CEO Susan Miller.
The report uses the ATIS Cybersecurity Architectural Risk Analysis (ARA) to establish a framework for assessing cybersecurity risk and applies the ARA to general IoT solutions involving network operators. By using it, developers can ensure proper security is part of their solutions by design. One major benefit of an ARA risk assessment is that its results identify specific security mitigations that can address the most serious threats. As a result, it can suggest the best expenditure of time, money, and resources to fortify an asset to mitigate the most serious risks given the specific IoT application and associated attributes.
