Description / Abstract
Current Internet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity threats were investigated using current literature and direct examination of IoT devices including the 3D printer control software OctoPrint, the autonomous vehicle middleware MOOS-IvP, and a common consumer smart lightbulb. This research found that most IoT devices transmit in plaintext and that software controls alone are insufficient in control systems applications. Recommended best practices for organizations include segregating IoT devices on a network, using non-default credentials, and keeping devices up to date. Manufacturers need to include robust encryption and authentication of messages with their offerings, as well as provide methods to update devices easily and safely. Finally, physical fail-safes can complement imperfect software in IoT control system applications.
