Part 1

After facilities personnel consulted with your IT management team building management now would like an example of how they may be able to implement embedded IoT systems and the related hardware in the corporate facilities environment. Their idea is to implement an IoT Smart asset tracking system. Therefore please discuss the following:

• Discuss the “thing” that is connected to the Internet allowing this smart asset tracking system to operate
• Identify and discuss the mobile technology (SW and Apps) and hardware associated with the scenario needed to implement this scenario
• Discuss how the WiFi network and Cloud will be the basis for the Network Technology
• How might the IT engineers integrate and test the IoT devices and technology in this scenario to ensure effective monitoring and tracking of key assets?

Part 2

The challenging concept of ensuring security over the new IoT device and technology implementation at the corporation is now the next task which must be briefed and understood by management. Corporate sensitive information, personally identifiable information, financial records and more will be within the IoT sphere therefore a meeting is required to discuss the security infrastructure needed for effective IoT implementation. Management would like a 3-5 page concept paper put together bringing depth to the critical security concepts needed for the IoT asset tracking implementation and strong device identity protection. Identify the core IoT security requirements for the following:

1. Describe the security infrastructure needed to establish “trust” when a device connects to the network.
2. Identify the required security needed to ensure personal, sensitive and financial information is kept private and secure, and device identity is preserved.
3. For the devices and the data being sent across the IoT infrastructure, security integrity is critical. Describe how security professionals will ensure the “data integrity” and encryption of information being transmitted.
