Data governance for security in IoT & cloud converged environments
Majid Al-Ruithe, Siyakha Mthunzi, Elhadj Benkhelifa · 2016
The convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) with the cloud has been a subject of research interest. Evidence suggests that such a convergence carries huge potential, albeit with some challenges too. There is a consensus that privacy, security and governance are key concerns. One central issue is the lack of mature governance and security standards for data within IoT-cloud converged environments. This paper will add to the wider discussions of the current phenomenon, and argue that roles, responsibilities and policies are the key pillars for developing robust governance and security processes and procedures. Our contribution details these pillars in the context of IoT-Cloud converged environments, provide a generic framework for data governance and security, and provides a roadmap for future work.
