As the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem rapidly evolves, there are many challenges that need to be addressed to ensure the security of the IoT landscape for all consumers and industries, and to help IoT meet its potential. The reluctance amongst European consumers and industries to take up IoT comes from a lack of trust, while European regulators worry about the prevalence of IoT in the long term. A major concern when it comes to IoT is the vulnerability of all sectors to cybersecurity attacks in various forms.

Within this context, a technical paper published by the European Cyber Security organisation (ECS) identifies ongoing and expected challenges regarding IoT cybersecurity at technical level, regulatory level and certification related. The paper addresses the cybersecurity concerns by reviewing the state of the concept and approach to cybersecurity certification. The paper concludes by offering recommendations for further discussions on the topic.
