ConCERTS: An IoT Cybersecurity Research Range for Education, Experimentation, and Security Research

Internet-of-Things (IoT) connected devices in enterprise and residential environments are weak points in network security. Security testing over a variety of IoT network configurations is hampered by device, infrastructure, and architectural heterogeneity that is often associated with IoT deployments. Though IoT testing environments have been developed, they often lack the flexibility, control, and visibility required for varied and repeatable education, research, and testing scenarios. This paper aims to address this gap by both exploring the shortcomings of existing IoT test environments and proposing ConCERTS - a Configurable Cybersecurity Education Range and Testing Stack as a novel architectural approach for IoT testbeds and cybersecurity research ranges.
