STER Project

Fostering continuous research in security risk management of IoT systems.
Currently working on two major projects IoT Security and Socio technical collaboration for innovation.

    The internet of things (IoT) has produced an integration of a vast network of sensors and objects, exchanging data within devices and the internet. With its expected exponential growth over time, incentives for malicious parties increase as well. The threats posed by implementing IoT is multifaceted, encompassing people, process, objects, and data, growing in number and complexity.
    This research study contributes a systematic approach to continuous research, innovation, evaluation, and training in IoT systems security, covering assets, security risks, and their countermeasures. It proffers, a goal-oriented series of activities and goals that bring together professionals and domain experts over short periods to apply knowledge in tackling specific problems in IoT security. This research aims to support stakeholders in maintaining a sustainable high level of security, providing security countermeasures to mitigate the evolving security risks in IoT systems.

IoT
Security.

In the 3-layer IoT architecture, security risks in one architecture layer affect other layers. Thus, a comprehensive review of security risk management in different IoT system application domains is necessary to examine the security elements, reveal possible gaps in the current security risk management research/practices within these architecture layers and provides suggestions for future research.
