NIST Updates IoT Cybersecurity Guidance and Accompanying Catalog

NIST Guidance on Internet of Things (IoT) | McDermott Will & Emery

Device identification: The IoT device can be uniquely identified logically and physically. Device configuration: The configuration of the IoT device’s software can be changed, and such changes can be performed by authorized entities only. Data protection: The IoT device can protect the data it stores and transmits from unauthorized access and modification. Logical access to interfaces: The IoT device can restrict logical access to its local and network interfaces, and the protocols and services used by those interfaces, to authorized entities only. Software update: The IoT device’s software can be updated by authorized entities only using a secure and configurable mechanism.

The IoT Cybersecurity Act of 2020: Implications for Devices

A universe of devices and technology has fallen into our laps at a speed that organizations struggle to manage effectively. And that boom in devices shows no signs of stopping. In 2019, there were an estimated 9.9 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices. By 2025, we expect 21.5 billion. As more information about IoT device vulnerabilities is published, the pressure on industry and government authorities to enhance security standards might be reaching a tipping point. Last month’s passage of the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2020 means all IoT devices used by government agencies will soon have to comply with strict NIST standards. While it’s a progressive step for the network security of the U.S. government, standards will not apply to the IoT market at-large. However, many are hopeful that this security update will trickle out to all IoT vendors and devices.
