White Papers
The Security Working Group published the Endpoint Security Best Practices white paper that
describes the best practices that equipment manufacturers, critical infrastructure operators,
integrators and others can reference to implement the countermeasures and controls they need
to ensure the safety, security and reliability of IoT endpoint devices. An executive summary of
this paper is found in this June 2018 edition of the Journal of Innovation.
The Security Maturity Model: Description and Intended Use white paper builds on concepts
identified in the IISF and provides a path for IoT providers for evaluating and enhancing their
security mechanisms. This white paper is the first of two d ocuments covering the security
maturity model (SMM) and provides an introduction to the SMM. The second document will be
a practitioner’s guide and provide details on the SMM.
