The nonprofit organization has developed a multifaceted IoT security platform that draws support from academia and Attivo Networks.
The nonprofit Global Cyber Alliance aims to help change that equation with a new development platform for IoT devices.
“It respects people’s privacy and is currently protecting about 15 million endpoints,” said Adnan Baykal, the global technical advisor at GCA.
“And we decided that we were going to do something in IoT,” Baykal said.
For its IoT-focused AIDE initiative, GCA has launched multiple individual efforts designed to feed into each other.
Next, GCA is using virtual IoT devices on simulated networks designed to attract attackers.
“Our technology enables you to use real IoT devices, and replicate them virtually around the globe,” Baykal said.
“We even put pictures of jewelry, for instance, in front of the camera,” Baykal said.
This initiative involves the deployment of what GCA calls ProxyPots, custom IoT honeypot technology.
GCA also integrates data from other IoT honeyfarm in a central location “so everyone using the platform can have a better and bigger view, can analyze the data, and work towards mitigating identified attacks,” Baykal said.
In addition, GCA is opening its platform to vetted academic communities to enable researchers to identify characteristics of attacks that can help shape policies and develop mitigation strategies.
“Threat intelligence and insights developed from these partnerships and research is made available to the security communities at large,” Baykal explained.
GCA has also partnered with Attivo Networks, which has granted the organization access to its deception technology.
“We are building a honey farm using their SCADA systems,” Baykal said.
In addition, GCA is also partnering with other organizations like British Telecom that run IoT honey farms to feed more data into the GCA platform
