Tiivistelmä
A simple traditional insect pest trap system is transformed by Internet of Things (IoT for short) into an advanced connected device. The benefits are immense but cyber security imposes a great threat. The goal is to develop a checklist of requirements for developers of IoT-augmented traps that are alert to the challenges. The initial joy of creating prototypes using IoT in an end-to-end system is an achievement that needs to be reinforced with good knowledge of cyber security Theory about the use of IoT in agriculture is comprehensive; technical details, architectural descriptions and general uptake of modern ICT is vast. Still, there are gaps and some neglect from a practical angle on the requirements to develop IoT prototypes for ensuring system continuity.; a shortcoming that is addressed here.
There is a need to study the cyber security requirements for a development project of an IoT-based insect pest trap monitoring system. Guidance is needed to assist developers with limited cyber security knowledge to understand and be aware of threat scenarios and mitigation efforts to minimize the potential cyber-attacks. Using a case study involving a combination of investigating the IoT modules used in the field experiment prototypes’ and related literature review, concrete guidance is developed.
The fundamental principles of developing a proper business case and requirements apply equally to the insect pest project as any other project implementation. Basic cyber security knowledge is essential for developers including awareness of regular IoT news. The contemporary cyber security and IoT environment within the agriculture sector is dynamic and evolving rapidly with modern technology. The significance of this study is that it informs about theoretical understanding of IoT and cyber security and gives practical guidance to developers on how to be diligent about the fundamentals.
