"New Data Analysis Approach Could Strengthen the Security of IoT Devices"

It has been discovered that a multi-pronged data analysis approach can strengthen the security of IoT devices. One of the data analysis techniques the researchers applied during the study was an open-source freely available R statistical suite, which they used to characterize the IoT systems.  They also used machine learning solutions to search for patterns in the data that were not apparent using R.  The researchers also used the widely available Splunk intrusion detection tool.  Using the tools stated above, the researchers identified three IP addresses that were actively trying to break into the Canberra network’s devices.  The researchers believe that analyzing IoT data using the approach they used, may enable security professionals to identify and manage controls to mitigate risk and analyze incidents as they occur. The researchers also hope that this research will help professionals create protocols on IoT security.
