Standardization Issues for the Internet of Things

The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) entails the emergence of new security threats and risks. The daily promotion of using more devices in more areas of life requires the development of new security standards. Interactions with and within the IoT have to be regulated by the documents of leading international organizations. At the same time, the problems of ensuring IoT security are not yet fully worked out because of the constantly expanding methods, tools, and devices involved in these processes. The paper discusses existing standards in the field of IoT’s information security (IS). This research is focused on how the IS issues are addressed in these standards. An assumption on the significance and prospects of the progress in this field is made on the basis of the analysis performed.
