IoT Security Standards and Initiatives

This report compiles IoT security best practices from ZDNet, Microsoft, DarkReading, and IEEE — emphasizing inventory and device management, patching and remediation, changing defaults, strong authentication and encryption, network segmentation, testing, auditing, and role-based responsibilities — and briefly explains how a cloud-based SD-WAN (Cato Cloud) with NGFW/FWaaS and virtual patching can help secure IoT deployments.
