A risk aware development and deployment methodology for cloud enabled Internet-of-Things

Internet of things (IoT) is predicted to be the future of networking and presents virtually limitless potential opportunities for it's application anywhere from the industries to even ordinary houses. Where connecting billions of devices together provides unlimited opportunities, it also opens the gates to many challenges. Risk analysis is the mandatory action that users must perform addressing the security, privacy, performance and reliability requirements among many. To ensure that risk analysis and mitigation is implemented correctly, an automated and systematic approach is often recommended. In addition, the complexity and dynamism of IoT systems further adds to the need of specialized and context awareness of the risk management. In this paper, we present a risk aware development and deployment methodology for IoT systems that can help in focused decision making for proactive risk analysis and management, in a context aware manner.
