Kevin Heneka: IoT Cybersecurity - EU Normenupdate

Discover EU norms and standards for IoT cybersecurity, from passwords to certification programs, and learn about ETSI and the European Institute for Telecommunications' role in shaping IoT security.

Key takeaways
  • The EU has three concrete norms for IoT cybersecurity: the Cyber Resilience Act, the Radio Equipment Directive, and the ETSI norm.
  • Strong passwords are not always the best way to secure devices; conditional passwords with proper procedures and time-outs are recommended.
  • The FAUDE-8 is an example of a certification program for IoT devices.
  • The European Institute for Telecommunications (IPTS) plays a significant role in standardizing IoT cybersecurity.
  • The Radio Equipment Directive is concerned with the safety and security of IoT devices.
  • The ETSI norm is an important standard for IoT device certification.
  • The Cyber Resilience Act aims to improve the EU’s cybersecurity posture.
  • The IoT device is not the same as the constraint device; it is the intelligent device that is important for IoT security.
  • The IDC (Internet of Things) is an important aspect of IoT security.
