HPE Fortify on Demand conducted the research using standard techniques to test the IoT systems, which combined manual security testing along with the use of automated tools. Devices and their components were assessed based on the OWASP Internet of Things Top 10 Project and the specific vulnerabilities associated with each top 10 category. The resulting data and percentages in this report were drawn from the 10 IoT systems tested. While there are many more IoT devices currently on the market, we believe the similarity in results of the 10 devices provides a good indicator of where the market currently stands as it relates to security and the IoT.
