Configuration and vulnerability analysis in AWS IoT FleetWise

IoT environments can consist of large numbers of devices that have diverse capabilities, are long-lived, and are geographically distributed. These characteristics make device setup complex and error-prone. Also, because devices are often constrained in computational power, memory, and storage capabilities, the use of encryption and other forms of security on the devices is limited. Devices often use software with known vulnerabilities. These factors make IoT devices, including vehicles collecting data for AWS IoT FleetWise, an attractive target for hackers and make it difficult to secure them on an ongoing basis.

Configuration and IT controls are a shared responsibility between AWS and you, our customer. For more information, see the AWS shared responsibility model.
