IoT Security Foundation Publications
Like any aspect of information security, IoT security is not absolute and can never be guaranteed – it is a journey, not a destination. New vulnerabilities are constantly being discovered, which means there is a need to monitor, maintain and review both policy and practice on a regular basis.
Materials published by IoTSF include contributions from security practitioners, researchers, industrially experienced staff and other relevant sources from IoTSF’s membership and partners. IoTSF has a multi-stage process designed to develop contemporary best practice with a quality assurance peer review prior to publication.
Users of IoT Security Foundation (IoTSF) guidance materials are encouraged to use the latest advice and frameworks available. To maintain and build on our published materials, IoTSF issues releases in a timely manner – consistent with other bodies working in dynamic settings.
IoTSF endeavours to provide fit-for-purpose and up to date guidance. In the spirit of continuous improvement, IoTSF invites feedback from users and third party experts to help make those improvements to our outputs. You can do this simply by emailing us at contact@iotsecurityfoundation.org – please include the document title and “feedback” in your email subject line.
Organisations that follow IoTSF best practices may download and use the Best Practice User Mark on their marketing materials.
