Abstract
The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has increased the risk of cyber threats to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data processed. In this context, proactive security management has emerged as a critical strategy for protecting assets and networks. However, managing the complex nature of IoT devices poses a significant challenge to effective IoT security management. Digital twins - virtual replicas of physical assets - offer a promising solution to address these challenges. By creating a digital twin of an IoT network, security analysts could continuously monitor and regulate the IoT network, detect potential problems before they escalate, and assess the impact of new configurations and updates without risking the physical ones. This paper proposes a concept that uses digital twins for proactive IoT security management. To this end, we implement a proof of concept to demonstrate the practical applicability of this approach for four different security use cases. Our results provide a starting point for further research to leverage digital twins for IoT security management.
