Abstract

With the number of Internet-connected devices
(things), expected to be almost 30 billion by 2030, the Internet
of Things (IoT) technologies already became a part of everyday
life, various areas like public health, smart cars, smart grids,
smart cities, smart manufacturing and smart homes. On the
other hand there is also the necessity of securing all these devices
from possible cyber-attacks. In this paper, We investigate the
current state of the art of IoT security and Digital Twins, digital
representations of physical objects. We then use this knowledge
to propose a novel methodology to use Cyber Digital Twins and
Autonomous Adversary Emulation to improve the security of
IoT devices. Consequently, we show that this methodology has
the potential to improve the security of IoT applications. This
work contributes a review of the state of the art in IoT security
research and a novel method for improving IoT device security.
