FAQ
In the Internet of Things, security determines trustworthiness, compliance and long-term operational stability. These FAQs address key questions on protection requirements, risk assessment and securing connected devices, systems and communication channels.
What is IoT security?
IoT security covers all the measures that protect connected devices, data flows and the entire IoT ecosystem from attacks, manipulation and unauthorised access. This includes technical, organisational and regulatory security requirements.
Why is security important in the Internet of Things?
Security matters in the Internet of Things because connected devices are part of a larger digital ecosystem, and vulnerabilities can quickly affect data, processes or systems. IoT security helps identify risks early and reliably secure devices and communication.
What security requirements apply to IoT devices?
IoT devices must meet requirements for secure communication, access control, data integrity, system hardening and the protection of sensitive information. Depending on the application, regulatory requirements such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), secure updates and a holistic view of the IoT ecosystem also play an important role.
How can an IoT ecosystem be secured?
An IoT ecosystem can be secured effectively when devices, communication, platforms and processes are considered together. IoT security combines security concepts, technical safeguards and regulatory requirements to reduce risks across the entire connected environment.

Glossary
Securing IoT ecosystems requires an understanding of threats, regulatory requirements and technical protection mechanisms. This glossary explains key security concepts that are essential for robust risk analyses and sustainable security strategies in the IoT environment.
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity covers the measures used to protect digital systems, data and communication channels from attacks, misuse or failures. In an IoT environment, the need for protection extends to devices, platforms, interfaces and operating processes.
Data flows
Data flows describe which data is transferred between devices, applications, platforms and interfaces. They are central to IoT security because they reveal protection needs, access points and possible attack paths.
Threat model
A threat model structures potential risks, attack paths and the system components affected. It serves as the technical basis for deriving countermeasures in a targeted, traceable way.
Secure development lifecycles
Secure development lifecycles integrate security checks and protective measures into every phase of software development. This means security requirements are not just checked at the end, but continuously planned, implemented and reviewed.
PKI
PKI stands for public key infrastructure and describes an infrastructure for managing digital certificates and keys. In IoT scenarios, it can help uniquely identify devices and enable secure communication.
European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)
The European Cyber Resilience Act is an EU regulation setting out cybersecurity requirements for digital products. It is relevant for IoT providers because connected devices and their software need to be secured more comprehensively across their entire life cycle.
