ABSTRACT

Global trends related to the development of modern countries and organizations include, among others, further development and propagating solutions of the Internet of Things (IoT). Increase in cyberthreats and the existing vulnerabilities justify the need for research within the domain of cybersecurity of the IoT. The aim of this chapter is to develop a concept of a model of cybersecurity management within IoT. For the purpose of defining scientific foundations for IoT cybersecurity management, the authors have performed analysis and synthesis of knowledge within the scope of security science, quality and management sciences, and IT. Realization of the adopted aim of the research requires an interdisciplinary approach. Security science provides knowledge within the scope of theoretical foundations of security, covering threats, vulnerabilities, risk, security systems, and values that may be lost as a result of a security incident. The scientific apparatus of management and quality sciences enables us to define requirements for an IoT cybersecurity management system, while IT covers the technical aspects of IoT. Research results enable us to assume that delivery of cybersecurity for IoT requires a systemic approach that includes the management of all system elements. Security challenges determine the need for continuous improvement of the IoT cybersecurity management system.
