The NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has released the final versions of three publications to help secure Internet of Things (IoT) devices and their networks.
Together, these publications provide a comprehensive approach to help ensure the secure onboarding of IoT devices to networks, safeguard IoT devices from unauthorized networks, and manage these devices throughout their lifecycles.
Background
As with any other device, an IoT device needs appropriate credentials to connect to a network securely. Establishing trust between a network and an IoT device prior to providing the device with credentials it needs to join the network is crucial for mitigating the risk of potential attacks. The NCCoE recommends the use of trusted network-layer onboarding to provide scalable, automated, trusted ways to provide IoT devices with unique network credentials and manage devices throughout their lifecycles to ensure that they remain secure.
Publications
Our four-year engagement with industry partners yielded several builds and draft releases, demonstrating both the complexity of the challenge and the robustness of the solutions offered in this space. By following these guidelines, IoT device users can protect their networks and devices from potential threats. We thank everyone who reviewed the draft IoT publications and provided insightful comments – your feedback was invaluable in helping us refine and improve the final documents.
