In today’s highly connected, interdependent world, all organizations rely on others for critical products and services. However, the reality of globalization, while providing many benefits, has resulted in a world where organizations no longer fully control the supply ecosystems of the products that they make or the services that they deliver. Organizations are concerned about the risks associated with products and services that may potentially contain malicious functionality, are counterfeit, or are vulnerable due to poor manufacturing and development practices within the supply chain. These risks are associated with an enterprise’s decreased visibility into and understanding of how the technology they acquire is developed, integrated, and deployed or the processes, procedures, standards, and practices used to ensure the security, resilience, reliability, safety, integrity, and quality of the products and services. This presentation will discuss the similarities and differences in approaches and practices used by public and private sector organizations.

The emerging edge-cloud continuum that comprises complex safety-critical systems as part of supply chains (spanning from specialized embedded systems to highly capable computing systems running on the cloud), has the potential to significantly enhance the digital life of individuals but it also brings new challenges (or rather makes old unsolved challenges urgent to be solved), with trust and resilience being major concerns. In this talk, we will focus on Trusted Computing Group’s (TCG) new specification that enable Cyber-Physical Systems to achieve cyber resilience by implementing a minimal set of attestation capabilities. We will also describe how the work done in the ASSURED project enacts upon these specification with the design of new remote attestation schemes towards achieving sustainable security in such complex “Systems-of-Systems”. As such, security should be implemented in a sustainable way, namely achieving limiting energy and computational resources consumption, and being at least capable of supporting crypto-agility (so as to allow updates of security primitives rather than replacement of whole devices). These two properties are challenging to offer in security, since several attacks and weaknesses are discovered every day and simple updates could not be sufficient to defeat them.

In this presentation, we will explore the Horizon 2020 European research project IoTAC (Security By Design IoT Development and Certificate Framework with Front-end Access Control) (No 952684), which aims to enhance IoT security through a comprehensive multi-layered approach. IoTAC leverages industry best practices, established standards, and cutting-edge research findings to bolster the security of IoT systems. The project integrates various cutting-edge components, including privacy-friendly access control mechanisms, machine learning-based attack detection, advanced honeypots, run-time monitoring strategies, and a security-by-design methodology. These technologies work together to create a robust security framework for IoT devices and systems. Furthermore, IoTAC provides software development kits (SDKs) and application programming interfaces (APIs) to facilitate seamless framework integration for developers and service providers. In our upcoming presentation, we will explore the testing methodologies and specifically highlight the security testing approaches implemented in the IoTAC project. We will discuss the approaches taken to assess and validate the security of IoT systems, highlighting the effectiveness of these methods in identifying vulnerabilities and ensuring robust protection.
Additionally, this presentation will explore the significance of bringing the IoTAC project’s approaches and learnings into the standardization process. We will discuss the potential impact on industry standards and highlight the importance of establishing best practices to enhance IoT security on a broader scale. By attending this presentation, you will gain insights into the innovative research efforts of the IoTAC project, its multi-layered security approach, and its implications for testing and standardization in the field of IoT security.

The H2020 SANCUS project focuses on evaluating the security of 5G networks by integrating technologies and engines for automated security validation and verification. It relies on dynamic risk assessment, AI/ML processing, vulnerability detection, security emulation, and testing, along with optimization modeling to remediate to detected vulnerabilities and attacks. The project aims to align with ICT and network security standards and actively promote standardization. Standardization is crucial in advancing secure and trusted 5G networks, and SANCUS develops standards-compliant security engines, architectures, and methodologies to enhance interoperability and market acceptance. Through collaboration and engagement with industry stakeholders, the project pushes existing standardization activities in different standardization bodies, ensures regulatory compliance, and aims at a long-term sustainability and exploitation of results.
