Abstract

An IoT device testing platform is used to test a candidate IoT device with respect to a first plurality of cyber security criteria. A first certificate is granted for the device upon favorably passing that assessment with respect to the first plurality of cyber security criteria. Subsequent to granting that first certificate, the device is assessed with respect to a second plurality of cyber security criteria and a second certificate is granted when the device favorably passes that assessment. And then, subsequent to granting that second certificate, these teachings then provide for using the IoT device testing platform to test the candidate IoT device with respect to a third plurality of cyber security criteria and granting a third certificate for the candidate IoT device when the candidate IoT device favorably passes assessment with respect to the third plurality of cyber security criteria.
