Cloud Security Alliance Releases Guidelines for IoT Developers

The Cloud Security Alliance released guidelines to help IoT designers and developers understand security measures for IoT-related products and services, said a Friday CSA news release. CSA’s report cites 13 considerations and guidance for designing and developing “reasonably secure” IoT devices to mitigate common issues with IoT device development, it said. Topics include IoT device security challenges; security options available for IoT development platforms; a categorization of IoT device types and a threat review; recommendations for secure device design and development processes; and a checklist for security engineers and examples of IoT products mapped to relevant threats, it said.
