Hardware & Security Audit
A hardware and security audit is a critical step in ensuring that any device being added to DIMO is secure and not susceptible to cyber-attacks. In the case of the DIMO Network, the connected devices will be installed in automobiles, making the security audit even more crucial.
Objectives
The primary objective of a hardware and security audit is to identify and assess the potential vulnerabilities of a device, both in terms of hardware and software. This process helps to ensure that the device does not pose a threat to DIMO’s integrity and the platform it operates on. By performing an audit, any potential security risks can be identified and addressed before a device is approved by the DIMO Foundation and connected to the network.
One of the most important reasons for a security audit is to protect the DIMO network and the platform's integrity. When a device is approved and whitelisted onto the network, it gains access to the network and possibly other devices connected to it. If a device is not secure and is vulnerable, it could provide an entry point for people to access the network and the platform, potentially causing significant damage.
The consequences of a security breach can be severe, particularly when it comes to connected vehicles. A cyber-attack could potentially result in the loss of control of the vehicle, creating a safety hazard for drivers and passengers. In the worst-case scenario, it could even lead to loss of life.
Audit Details
The Hardware and security audit covers the following:
DIMO Check-in
Memory analysis is an important part of a our audit, as it helps to identify signs of tampering, malware, or other malicious code that may be present in the device's memory.
