Assignment Title:
A layer-wise component and security analysis of an IoT application
Introduction
You need to do a layer-wise component and security analysis of a selected IoT application and make a report of process (approx. 2000 words).
The Scenario
CyberHealth Ltd. is a Teesside based cybersecurity solution provider, where you are working as a cybersecurity expert. Your company provides Networking & Cybersecurity solutions for the business environment. They currently offer managed, professional, and hardware & software services. Recently, few companies have approached CyberHealth to offer them services for their IoT solution clients. CyberHealth is interested in extending its business by providing services to its customers who offer IoT solutions.
The use of telemedicine with the support IoT has increased globally due to COVID-19. Your company is more interested in healthcare related IoT solution providers or customers. In this context, you are assigned to analyse the security of an existing remote monitoring system (offered by an IoT solution provider) for elderly and chronic disease patients.
Your Tasks
Task 1: Discuss the three- and five-layered architecture of the IoT-basedremote patient monitoring system (e.g., fall detection and reporting or any app selected from Google's play or Apple' Apps store and uses mobile sensors). For the task you need to include:
- A diagram of the architecture
- Brief description of each layer (e.g., sensing or perception) with their components (e.g., specific sensor or sensors).
Task 2: What is Risk in cybersecurity? Do a risk assessment of the selected IoT application using a risk assessment framework. You can select any framework you prefer.
Task 3: Explain with examples how you would analyse the end-to-end (E2E) security vulnerabilities or concerns (using the 3-layer architecture in task 1 and its layer-wise components) of the selected solution. For this task,
- be precise about tools and methods,
- justify all your decisions, and
- Discussion needs to be linked with the selected application.
Task 4: Discuss countermeasures for the identified security concerns of the sensing (in task 3) layer of the selected patient monitoring system.
Task 5: Discuss and make informed comments on emerging applications of IoT in healthcare, demonstrating an understanding of the social and commercial context.
Task 6: Write the report clearly and professionally (i.e., using references and figures where appropriate) regarding technical issues in an IoT network and security.
