Threat Co.U.CoPDS.0.2

URI: Co.U.CoPDS.0.2

Package: IoT

< prev | next >

Description: Loss of reliability due to out of date input at Controller: if the onboard data at a controller is out of date, it means the controller will not be reliable unless it does not require real-time updates to operate safely.

Threat Type: Secondary Threat

Matching Pattern:

CSG-SafeIoTController

The IoT controller device Controller is regulating a physical system where it is not necessary to get real-time updates to control input data, due to the nature of the IoT application. This control strategy does not represent a contingency plan to constrain Controller at run-time, but should be used to signal that the IoT application is not sensitive to temporary interruption in the flow of control inputs.

CSG-SafeIoTControlMode

The IoT controller device Controller can be set to operate within safety limits such that it poses no danger to the physical system it regulates, even without real-time control inputs. This strategy represents a contingency plan, which can be used to reduce risk from some threats. However, it may trigger other threats, or produce some loss of efficiency or function in the physical system.

CSG-SafeIoTControlMode-Implementation-Runtime

The IoT controller device Controller has been set to operate within safety limits in response to an interruption in real-time control inputs, such that it poses no danger to the physical system it regulates. This strategy represents activation of a contingency plan at runtime, and can be selected to discover what effect this would have on risk levels, allowing this to be used for decision support calculations. To activate it at runtime, signal user HostManager who is responsible for managing the device. The Safe IoT Controller control shoud be deselected only when the restrictions on Controller have been lifted.
