The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) releases a report designed to help organizations manage Internet of Things (IoT) risks & cyberattacks.
The Internet of Things (IoT) presents many opportunities, but new cyber threats are emerging that affect connected devices. However, organizations that understand how to manage the cybersecurity and privacy risks associated with IoT devices are well-equipped to prevent cyberattacks and data breaches, according to the “Considerations for Managing Internet of Things (IoT) Cybersecurity and Privacy Risks” report from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
In addition, NIST offers the following recommendations to help organizations manage IoT risk:
- Identify IoT device risks. Understand the risks associated with IoT devices and plan accordingly.
- Develop and maintain IoT policies. Create policies and processes designed to guard against IoT device attacks; these policies and processes also should be updated periodically.
- Implement updated risk mitigation best practices. Evaluate IoT…
