PAS 1878 and PAS 1879 are two industry standards developed by the British Standards Institute (BSI) for the evaluation and assessment of cyber security for smart cities and Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices. These standards help cities and organizations to implement cyber security measures in smart cities and IoT devices, making them more secure and reliable.
PAS 1878 focuses on smart cities and provides guidelines for the assessment of cyber security for smart cities. It provides a comprehensive approach for the assessment of the cyber security of smart cities by evaluating various elements such as governance, risk management, assets, and threat management.
PAS 1879, on the other hand, focuses on the security of IoT devices. It provides guidelines for the assessment of IoT devices, with the aim of ensuring that they are secure and can be trusted by organizations and individuals. The standard covers areas such as device discovery, secure boot, secure communication, and secure device management.
Both PAS 1878 and PAS 1879 are designed to be used together and form part of a broader framework for the assessment of cyber security in smart cities and IoT devices. The standards provide a common language and methodology for the evaluation of cyber security, making it easier for organizations and individuals to understand and implement cyber security measures.
In conclusion, PAS 1878 and PAS 1879 are important standards for the development of secure smart cities and IoT devices. By providing guidelines for the assessment of cyber security, these standards help to promote trust and reliability in these technologies, making them more secure and usable for everyone.
