Delivering Advanced Security Capabilities from Edge to Cloud for IoT

Master powerful techniques and approaches for securing Io T systems of all kinds-current and emerging Internet of Things (Io T) technology adoption is accelerating, but Io T presents complex new security challenges. Fortunately, Io T standards and standardized architectures are emerging to help technical professionals systematically harden their Io T environments. In Orchestrating and Automating Security for the Internet of Things, three Cisco experts show how to safeguard current and future Io T systems by delivering security through new NFV and SDN architectures and related Io T security standards. The authors first review the current state of Io T networks and architectures, identifying key security risks associated with nonstandardized early deployments and showing how early adopters have attempted to respond. Next, they introduce more mature architectures built around NFV and SDN. You’ll discover why these lend themselves well to Io T and Io T security, and master advanced approaches for protecting them. Finally, the authors preview future approaches to improving Io T security and present real-world use case examples. This is an indispensable resource for all technical and security professionals, business security and risk managers, and consultants who are responsible for systems that incorporate or utilize Io T devices, or expect to be responsible for them. * Understand the challenges involved in securing current Io T networks and architectures * Master Io T security fundamentals, standards, and modern best practices * Systematically plan for Io T security * Leverage Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) to harden Io T networks * Deploy the advanced Io T platform, and use MANO to manage and orchestrate virtualized network functions * Implement platform security services including identity, authentication, authorization, and accounting * Detect threats and protect data in Io T environments * Secure Io T in the context of remote access and VPNs * Safeguard the Io T platform itself * Explore use cases ranging from smart cities and advanced energy systems to the connected car * Preview evolving concepts that will shape the future of Io T security
