\n\u201cThese can be overcome if the end-to-end security of an IoT service is carefully considered by the service provider when designing their service and an appropriate mitigating technology is deployed. A proven and robust approach to security will create trusted, reliable services that scale as the market grows.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>The GSMA IoT Security Guidelines has been developed through the GSMA Connected Living programme.
\nThe programme is designed to help operators accelerate the delivery of new connected devices and services in the M2M market. It focuses on driving industry collaboration, promoting appropriate regulation and optimising networks to support the growth of M2M in the immediate future and the IoT in the longer term.<\/p>\n
The research and conclussions have been developed in consultation with the mobile industry and offers IoT service providers and the wider IoT ecosystem practical advice on tackling common cybersecurity threats, as well as data privacy issues associated with IoT services.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a significant amount of evidence to suggest that cyberattacks are already happening in the burgeoning IoT space. If not handled appropriately, these attacks are likely to inhibit the growth and stability of the Internet of Things,\u201d commented Don A. Bailey, Founder and CEO, Lab Mouse Security. \u201cIt is imperative that the industry adopts a standard approach for dealing with security risks and mitigations, helping to ensure that the entire IoT ecosystem will not be subject to fraud, exposures of privacy, or attacks that affect human life.\u00bb<\/p>\n
\u201cAs technology evolves and adapts to the new opportunities that will be realised through connected things and objects, it will be the consumer who ultimately determines which products and services are successful. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of security vulnerabilities and threats to their own digital identity and consumer protection will be a key consideration for adoption of IoT services. Orange welcomes these guidelines and recommendations from the GSMA, and sees them as a crucial for helping to define the security ecosystem that the industry must deliver to build consumer trust and confidence, and that protection of their digital identity and presence on the internet is inherently part of the solution they purchase,\u201d\u00a0said Mari-No\u00eblle J\u00e9go-Laveissi\u00e8re, Senior Executive, Innovation, Marketing and Technologies, Orange<\/p>\n
\u00abTo allow the Internet of Things to take off on its predicted trajectory, security and privacy must be adopted throughout the ecosystem and built-in from the start. These guidelines will help both start-ups and established companies to implement security and privacy into their processes in order to provide secure services and products, \u00bb said Jimmy Johansson, Information Security and Privacy Officer, Telenor Connexion<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Internet of Things presents great opportunities to create value for businesses and consumers but the interconnection of heterogeneous systems and technologies increases the chance of exposing areas of vulnerability. The GSMA IoT Security guidelines compiles best practice recommendations for service development which if adopted will minimize opportunities for malicious exploitation and in turn will reassure market confidence and facilitate mass adoption. At Etisalat we look forward to use them when creating new or enhancing our existing IoT service offering,\u00bb Angel David Garcia Barrio, VP M2M, Etisalat explained.<\/p>\n
