There is a small- and rapidly closingwindow
to ensure that IoT is adopted in a
way that maximizes security and minimizes
risk. If the country fails to do so, it will be
coping with the consequences for
generations
➢ Incorporate Security at the Design Phase
➢ Advance Security Updates and Vulnerability Management
➢ Build on Proven Security Practices
➢ Prioritize Security Measures According to Potential Impact
➢ Promote Transparency across IoT
➢ Connect Carefully and Deliberately
WHAT IS SECURITY
DICTIONARY SAYS:
1. Freedom from risk or danger ; safety.
2. Freedom from doubt, anxiety and fear ; confidence.
3. Something that gives or assures safety , as:
1. A group or department of private guards.
2. Measures adopted by a government to prevent sabotage or attack.
3. Measures adopted , as by a business or homeowner , to prevent a crime.
