Security plays a very important role for the deployment of IoT scenarios in productive environments. The Starter Kit examples concentrate of the aspect of demonstrating basic SAP Cloud Platform Internet of Things mechanisms. Whereas some code snippets show how to harden a solution against e.g. Man-in-the-Middle attacks that try to spoof a SAP Cloud Platform server in order to get access to sensitive payloads or credentials this is not generally the case for all examples and other security aspects like e.g. the integrity of the execution environment for an edge client are so far not covered. Inherently, specific usable security mechanisms differ for different programming languages, frameworks or hardware platforms. Thus, before making use of code snippets or integrated examples in productive scenarios please pay additional attention on hardening against potential attacks. We will continously provide further guidance on potential attack vectors and how to harden your solution on this page.
