Working Group on IoT Security
This project is implemented in the form of a working group whose goal is to contribute to IoT Sweden's work by increasing awareness and knowledge of IoT security in the public sector with a focus on IoT Sweden's thematic areas.
The background is the great interest that the topic raised at IoT Sweden's annual meeting in 2019, which provided a good basis for establishing a working group.
As the use of IoT in society spreads more and more, the importance of designing equipment and systems in a safe and robust way also increases. Security in IoT is an area that, compared to other cybersecurity, is a relatively new and neglected area. For example, there is no regulatory framework for certification of IoT equipment and the knowledge and research situation in the area is weak.
One of the reasons for the situation, and thus also contributes to increased risks, is a general lack of knowledge among actors responsible for the acquisition of equipment and systems. Furthermore, there are often no procedures and responsibilities for safe maintenance through upgrades of existing systems.
