1 Securing connected devices and critical IoT infrastructure with Blockchain-enabled Cybersecurity Blockchain-based digital identity for connected devices Locked-down & secured access to critical IoT systems Tamper-proof logging of all identity and access 1

2 Smart, connected devices are now an integral part of our lives, in business and at home The Internet of Things connects numerous everyday devices, opening up previously closed systems to remote access and control Smart homes and offices enabled with a host of connected and smart devices Connected cars, autonomous trucks, unmanned aerial vehicles, etc Industrial control systems w/ cyber-physical platforms managing critical infrastructure Smart Cities with sensors and digital mgmt. systems for energy, utilities, transportation, etc The IoT market is expected to grow to an install base of 30.7 billion devices by 2020 and 75.4 billion by

3 In 2016, botnet armies DDoS attack of DNS infrastructure sent major internet platforms and services offline However, the rapidly growing world of perpetually-connected smart devices presents proportionally large security risks Since 2016, researchers have shown how attackers could hijack a vehicle. In 2017, US Homeland Security cyber sleuths hacked a Boeing 757 as it sat on the runway In 2017, criminals hacked a connected fish tank and stole data from a casino In late 2016, Crash Override malware took down the power grid in Kiev, Ukraine for over an hour before Christmas Existing security solutions are unable to keep pace, scale up and address the security challenges facing the emerging IoT world 3

4 The Solution: IOT Armour, a next-gen security solution designed explicitly for connected devices and critical infrastructure The platform leverages digital signature based identity and authentication for humans, machines and data; securing connected devices and tightly ring-fencing critical infrastructure IOT Armour delivers an enhanced Software- Defined Perimeter using private permissioned Blockchain and TLS technology 4

5 IOT Armour harnesses digital signatures to identify, authenticate and authorize devices thereby also securing IoT Communication INTERNET OF THINGS REGISTRATION and ID of new device Identity & Access Validation Nodes AUTHENTICATION & AUTHORIZATION of devices SECURE CHANNELS for inter-device communication CORE SYSTEMS SECURED ACCESS to core systems Identity & Access Validation Nodes The solution utilizes Blockchain-based digital signatures to secure connected devices as well as the communication channels 5

6 The Building Blocks: IOT Armour is powered by Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) architecture & Blockchain technology SDP architecture render devices invisible to attackers; and customized agents along with Blockchain technology delivers a new breed of digital identity and access control for connected devices in the IoT Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) Decentralization 1. Centralized Controller 3. Mutual secure comm. to Controller SDP Controller 4. List of authorized Accepting Hosts determined 5. Accept communication from Initiating Host Cryptographic Encryption 6. Receive list of IP s of Accepting Hosts Initiating SDP Host Control Channel Data Channel 7. Mutual secure comm. channels Accepting SDP Host 2. Mutual secure comm. to Controller Accepting SDP Host Developed at the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). Used by the DHS & DoD Immutability Consensus-based Control Blockchain Technology Emerging technology offers opportunities to secure sensor networks, IoT devices and smart infrastructure in bold new ways 6

7 IOT Armour s Zero Trust setup allows for micro segmentation of connected devices as well as associated users The platform facilitates fine-grained resources access and comprehensive management of the policy engine on the Blockchain 7

8 The Result: A next-gen military-grade security system to protect connected devices and critical infrastructure against cyber threats Cryptographically-secure digital identity for users, connected devices and central servers/ services Invisible & locked down critical systems with micro segmentation and fine-grain access control Best-in-class militarygrade encryption for secured access to connected devices and IoT communication Immutable & tamperproof logs stored securely on the Blockchain for instant access / analysis It s time to reclaim control and secure connected devices and critical IoT infrastructure using emerging technology! 8
