The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in critical applications has underscored the importance of secure boot and attestation mechanisms to ensure device integrity and trustworthiness from the start-up phase.However, when these mechanisms fail, the implications can be severe, posing significant security risks and threats to IoT ecosystems.This paper explores the potential risks and threats associated with failed secure boot and attestation processes in IoT devices, outlines effective incident response strategies to address such failures, and presents mitigation techniques to secure compromised devices.By understanding and addressing these vulnerabilities, we can enhance the resilience and security of IoT systems.
