The DOSS – Secure-By-Design IoT Operation With Supply Chain Control – project aims to improve the security and reliability of IoT operations by introducing an integrated monitoring and validation framework to IoT Supply Chains, including all the relevant stakeholders. DOSS elaborates on a secure-by-design methodology and implements related technology based on formalized data exchange, component testing, and architecture modeling.

What is this solution offering that’s different?
End-to-end communication
The DOSS “Supply Trust Chain” connects all relevant stakeholders with a formalized communication flow to facilitate monitoring of the movement of IoT devices from manufacturers all the way to decommissioning.
Multi-level security testing
DOSS establishes a comprehensive testing model covering all IoT components, including the binary testing of IoT devices, black-box analysis of 3rd party applications, vulnerability assessment on open-source applications, and internal developments the result of which will provide solid evidence of the existence or absence of vulnerabilities.
Security modeling in digital twin
DOSS will use an AI-assisted, flexibly configurable cybersecurity digital twin to simulate already in the design phase the architecture of selected IoT operations to identify potential attack scenarios, to analyze their impact, and to elaborate the necessary countermeasures.
Security feedback from operation
The DOSS IoT “Supply Trust Chain” also comprises the highly protected IoT operation itself, which is integrated into the communication loop to provide relevant security-related information to other actors of the IoT supply chain.

Conceptual overview of the DOSS Digital Cybersecurity Twin Framework, part 1.
Within the DOSS IoT Supply Trust Chain (STC) Concept, we apply a digital twin framework, called the Digital Cybersecurity Twin (DCT). The DCT enables us to perform the automated vulnerability scanning and penetration testing of an IoT system in a virtualized environment, on a digital twin. This way, we can…

UK “Call for Views on the Cyber Security of Enterprise Connected Devices”
The UK government is evaluating legislation to enhance cybersecurity for enterprise IoT devices, as it did for consumer devices via its Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Act. This move follows concerns over the vulnerability of industrial and business-critical IoT systems, which are increasingly targeted in cyberattacks. The UK government announced…
