Securing the Internet of Things Begins with High-Quality Code

In this presentation, we’ll describe tools and techniques for mitigating software vulnerability risks. We’ll discuss how recent high-visibility IoT security breaches were introduced through failures in software quality, and we’ll cover specific processes that will show you how to make IoT devices more dependable, trustworthy, and secure.

With the massive proliferation of devices in the Internet of Things (IoT), security has become a primary concern across nearly every vertical market segment. Medical devices, industrial control equipment, unmanned systems, and automobiles can all be remotely controlled and monitored, providing new high-value capabilities—as well as opportunities for security breaches. Even if devices aren’t considered safety-critical, the impact of their data being hacked can be devastating for the user and the manufacturer. But all the security measures designed to enforce encryption, authentication, and protection aren’t enough if the underlying software isn’t developed securely. In fact, common software defects are the leading cause of security vulnerabilities in the IoT.

In this presentation, we’ll describe tools and techniques for mitigating software vulnerability risks. We’ll discuss how recent high-visibility IoT security breaches were introduced through failures in software quality, and we’ll cover specific processes that will show you how to:

• Avoid dangerous coding practices
• Choose and apply secure coding standards quickly and cost-effectively
• Develop understandable and maintainable code
• Thoroughly test code using automated tools
• Prove that software security practices are being followed throughout the development lifecycle
• Develop secure code while meeting cost and schedule demands

By employing proven software quality technologies, developers will learn how to make IoT devices more dependable, trustworthy, and secure.
