Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is currently the main enabler of smart services, where network communication links physical objects (embedded Things), such as a sensor with a main backend server, and allows the collection and exchange of data. Therefore, it is very important to maintain high availability of smart services, especially critical services, in case any failure of the objects occurs. In this paper, we address the different business continuity (BC) approaches that can be implemented in IoT services. An assessment of the vulnerabilities and threats of IoT services is essential for containing damage and continuing services during a crisis. There is a lack of frameworks and guidelines that address the BC of IoT services. Therefore, in this paper, we review and analyze the different types of IoT architectures and risks associated with them. In addition, we analyze many use cases and different types of standards, guidelines, policies and frameworks of BC that can outfit our final framework. As a result, the analysis outcomes are used to propose a BC framework for the IoT. The proposal explains different types of IoT architectures along with different types of BC measurements for IoT services. Finally, we implement our proposed framework with one of the real IoT service use cases.
