Also, given the nature of M2M—where patient adversaries have complete physical access to your
hardware—it may not be feasible to prevent all attacks against your devices. So prepare now for your
security systems to fail! Identify now how you will detect and respond to such failure in the long term.
Consider M2M across the full range of your existing security disaster and continuity of operations
(COOP) planning activities, including deploying a measured security posture before an attack; thorough
logging, auditing, and detection in the event an attack takes place; and timely forensics, analysis, and
remediation after an attack.
