IoT Security Guidelines

                    

In continuation of my previous article, IoT Era, as per latest update below are few problems on IoT devices overusing the network assumed by GSM Association.

- Reducing the lifetime of the (U)SIM card by increasing dramatically the read/write cycles.
- Increased power consumption of the device due to continuous restarts which may also affect the device lifetime.
- Local issues within the Mobile Network Operator’s network such as cell congestion.
- Capacity and performance problems within the Mobile Network Operator’s core network, such as signalling storms, which result in wide area network disruption.
- Negatively impacting the IoT Service’s performance, potentially resulting in delayed communications, degradation of the service quality and even service outages.

In order to solve these major challenges for Mobile Network Operator, GSM association releases IoT security Guidelines. These parameters will help service providers build a secure products with technology.
