A security monitoring system for internet of things

The wide adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm in several application domains has raised new security issues, which should be carefully taken into account to achieve a real benefit from the indisputable innovation potential of IoT. In fact, the heterogeneity of involved technologies, including the integration of different resource-constrained devices and networks, has led to the introduction of new threats affecting all architectural layers and urging for the design and enforcement of adequate security countermeasures, including effective monitoring capabilities. In this paper, we present a monitoring tool for IoT systems based on the extension of the Montimage network monitoring tools. The proposed solution, validated within the H2020 ANASTACIA project, proved to be well suited to monitor IoT-level networks thanks to the exploitation of protocol-specific plugins.
