OWASP Internet of Things Top 10Oxford defines the Internet of Things as: “A proposed development of the Internet in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data.” The OWASP Internet of Things (IoT) Top 10 is a project designed to help manufacturers, developers, and consumers better understand the security issues associated with the Internet of Things, and to enable users in any context to make better security decisions when building, deploying, or assessing IoT technologies. The project defines the top ten security surface areas presented by IoT systems, and provides information on threat agents, attack vectors, vulnerabilities, and impacts associated with each. In addition, the project aims to provide practical security recommendations for builders, breakers, and users of IoT systems. LicensingThe OWASP Internet of Things Top 10 is free to use.

Introduction
Oxford defines the Internet of Things as “a proposed development of the Internet in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data.”
The OWASP Internet of Things (IoT) Top 10 is a project designed to help vendors who are interested in making common appliances and gadgets network/Internet accessible. The project walks through the top ten security problems that are seen with IoT devices, and how to prevent them.
Examples of IoT Devices: Cars, lighting systems, refrigerators, telephones, SCADA systems, traffic control systems, home security systems, TVs, DVRs, etc…

Manufacturer IoT Security Guidance
(DRAFT)
The goal of this page is help manufacturers build more secure products in the Internet of Things space. The guidance below is at a basic level, giving builders of products a basic set of guidelines to consider from their perspective. This is not a comprehensive list of considerations, and should not be treated as such, but ensuring that these fundamentals are covered will greatly improve the security of any IoT product.
Category | IoT Security Consideration |
---|---|
I1: Insecure Web Interface |
|
I2: Insufficient Authentication/Authorization |
|
I3: Insecure Network Services |
|
I4: Lack of Transport Encryption |
|
I5: Privacy Concerns |
|
I6: Insecure Cloud Interface |
|
I7: Insecure Mobile Interface |
|
I8: Insufficient Security Configurability |
|
I9: Insecure Software/Firmware |
|
I10: Poor Physical Security |
|
General Recommendations
Consider the following recommendation for all Internet of Things products:
- Avoid the potential for persistent vulnerabilities in devices that have no update capability by ensuring that all devices and systems are built with the ability to be updated when vulnerabilities are discovered
- Rebranded devices used as part of a system should be properly configured so that unnecessary or unintended services do not remain active after the rebranding
[ NOTE: Given the fact that each deployment and every environment is different, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of implementing the advice above before taking each step. ]
Developer IoT Security Guidance
(DRAFT)
The goal of this page is help developers build more secure applications in the Internet of Things space. The guidance below is at a basic level, giving developers of applications a basic set of guidelines to consider from their perspective. This is not a comprehensive list of considerations, and should not be treated as such, but ensuring that these fundamentals are covered will greatly improve the security of any IoT product.

Consider the following recommendations for all user interfaces (local device, cloud-based and mobile):
- Avoid potential Account Harvesting issues by:
- Ensuring valid user accounts can't be identified by interface error messages
- Ensuring strong passwords are required by users
- Implementing account lockout after 3 - 5 failed login attempts
