The document discusses IoT security defense in depth. It notes that early IoT devices from the 1980s lacked many security measures that are now common, like network perimeter defense and endpoint protection. As IoT expands to include more devices, endpoints and attack surfaces, threats have become more aggressive and relentless. Effective IoT security requires an understanding of both IT and OT security practices. The document advocates a defense in depth approach with security controls at multiple layers, including the network, host, application, gateway, controllers and data/devices. Both technical and administrative measures are needed.
