As more devices connect to networks, IoT connectivity solutions become a prime target for attacks. Ensuring security across devices, networks, and applications is non-negotiable if these systems are to be trusted and resilient.

Threats Specific to Connectivity

Man-in-the-middle attacks intercepting data between device and gateway

Device spoofing, where a malicious actor impersonates a legitimate sensor

Replay attacks, especially when data is transmitted at intervals without proper timestamping or nonce use

Layers of Security

Device Level

Hardware roots of trust

Secure boot to ensure only trusted firmware runs

Tamper detection

Network Level

Encrypted communication channels (TLS, DTLS)

Mutual authentication (device ↔ gateway)

Network segmentation to isolate critical devices

Cloud / Application Level

Secure APIs; least-privilege access

Data encryption at rest and in transit

Regular audits & compliance checks

Implementation Strategy

Use over-the-air (OTA) update mechanisms to patch vulnerabilities swiftly.

Establish identity management for each device using certificates or secure tokens.

Perform penetration testing to uncover weak spots.
