To effectively secure Internet of Things (IoT) systems, cybersecurity strategies should include measures such as automatically-generated multi-dimensional allow lists, in-built access control, and Control-Flow Integrity. Implementing these strategies can ensure the software remains impervious to attacks while still allowing for vendor updates. Ideally, this security would be automatic, require low intervention from developers, and not impede performance due to the deterministic nature of IoT systems. This approach, known as Autonomous Deterministic Security, can provide stronger protection than heuristic methods.
