CERTIFY: aCtive sEcurity foR connecTed devIces liFecYcle

A methodological, technological, and organizational approach towards IoT security lifecycle management.

Where: international
Challenge
The rapid growth of IoT has brought about numerous benefits and innovations across various industries, but it has also introduced significant security challenges. As the IoT ecosystem continues to evolve, addressing security challenges will remain a critical focus to ensure the benefits of IoT can be fully realized while minimizing risks to individuals and businesses.
Approach
CERTIFY general ambition is to define a sound methodological, technological and organizational approach towards IoT security lifecycle management, providing IoT stakeholders with mechanisms achieving high-level security. This mechanisms are able to detect and respond to a wide spectrum of attacks, in a collaborative and decentralized way. The CERTIFY approach integrates into a single framework a set of interoperable tools, mechanisms and methodologies to enable security, monitoring, detection, secure updates and information sharing.
Digital Ecosystem
Solution
Digital Ecosystem
CERTIFY defines a methodological, technological, and organizational approach towards IoT security lifecycle management based on: security by design support, continuous security assessment and monitoring, timely detection, mitigation, and reconfiguration, secure IoT Over-The-Air (OTA) updating, and continuous security information sharing. The project validates the architecture through cutting-edge use-cases and paves the way towards innovative security in a broad spectrum of IoT environments. Engineering is involved from the analysis and design to the development, integration, testing and demonstration phases, in particular, Engineering leads the IIoT-based IDS/IPS engine. The project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme - Contract No. 101069471.
