Abstract

Internet infrastructure developments and the rise of the IoT Socio-Technical Systems (STS) have frequently generated more unsecure protocols to facilitate the rapid intercommunication between the plethoras of IoT devices. Whereas, current development of the IoT has been mainly focused on enabling and effectively meeting the functionality requirement of digital-enabled enterprises we have seen scant regard to their IA architecture, marginalizing system resilience with blatant afterthoughts to cyber defence. Whilst interconnected IoT devices do facilitate and expand information sharing; they further increase of risk exposure and potential loss of trust to their Socio-Technical Systems. A change in the IoT paradigm is needed to enable a security-first mind-set; if the trusted sharing of information built upon dependable resilient growth of IoT is to be established and maintained. We argue that Information Assurance is paramount to the success of IoT, specifically its resilience and dependability to continue its safe support for our digital economy.

信息保障(IA)视角下的物联网(IoT)弹性

互联网基础设施的发展和物联网社会技术系统(STS)的兴起经常产生更多不安全的协议，以促进大量物联网设备之间的快速相互通信。然而，目前物联网的发展主要集中在实现和有效满足数字化企业的功能需求上，我们很少关注他们的IA架构，将系统弹性边缘化，并公然对网络防御进行反思。互联的物联网设备确实促进和扩大了信息共享;它们进一步增加了风险暴露，并可能失去对其社会技术系统的信任。需要改变物联网模式，以实现安全第一的思维模式;如果要建立和维护建立在物联网可靠弹性增长基础上的可信信息共享。我们认为，信息保障对于物联网的成功至关重要，特别是它的弹性和可靠性，以继续为我们的数字经济提供安全支持。
