• Abstract: Security risk assessment and prediction are critical for organisations deploying Internet of Things (IoT) devices. An absolute minimum requirement for enterprises is to verify the security risk of IoT devices for the reported vulnerabilities in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). This paper proposes a novel risk prediction for IoT devices based on publicly available information about them. Our solution provides an easy and cost-efficient solution for enterprises of all sizes to predict the security risk of deploying new IoT devices. After an extensive analysis of the NVD records over the past eight years, we have created a unique, systematic, and balanced dataset for vulnerable IoT devices, including key technical features complemented with functional and descriptive features available from public resources. We then use machine learning classification models such as Gradient Boosting Decision Trees (GBDT) over this dataset and achieve 71% prediction accuracy in classifying the severity of device vulnerability score.

  This paper presents a cost-efficient platform to facilitate the pre-deployment security checks of IoT devices. The platform employs a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) network to analyse device-related textual data and predict weaknesses. At the same time, a Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) model predicts likely attack patterns that could exploit these weaknesses.
