The Industry IoT Consortium® (IIC™) and the Digital Twin Consortium® (DTC) announced the IoT Security Maturity Model (SMM) Digital Twin Profile. The SMM Digital Twin Profile extends guidance from the previously published IoT Security Maturity Model (SMM): Practitioner’s Guide for digital twin systems. It enables those who design and deploy digital twins to understand how to better evaluate and achieve appropriate security maturity for their systems. “Digital twins are not simply software as they can be connected and synchronized with real critical assets,” said Ron Zahavi, IoT SMM co-author and DTC Executive Director. “This work is the result of collaboration between the IIC and DTC and explores what is unique to digital twins in the context of IoT security maturity.” Digital twins are a virtual representation of real-world processes and entities synchronized in frequency and fidelity, thus raising unique security maturity concerns beyond the general considerations. The digital twin profile emphasizes the need
