Risk management within the IoT landscape

We have seen the usage of data analytics in the past two sections and how it has been beneficial for our workloads. Now, let’s look at how it can benefit industry cases and how we can accordingly evaluate our deployments based on best practices that are set out for us.

Threat modeling for IoT systems

There are often many steps that can be taken for threat modeling, but mostly there are nine steps that generally are abided by:

1. Identify the scope: Identify the IoT devices, networks, applications, and data involved in the IoT network.
2. Create an architecture diagram: Create a diagram to map out the IoT network, including devices, sensors, gateways, networks, and cloud services. This will help in understanding the dependencies and interactions between components.
3. Identify threats: Identify potential threats to the IoT network, such as unauthorized access, data tampering, malware, physical theft, and data breaches. Conduct...
