Unquestionably, communicating entities (objects, or things) in the Internet of Things (IoT) context, are acquiring an active role in human activities, systems and processes. The high connectivity of intelligent objects and their severe constraints lead to many security challenges, which are not included into the classical formulation of security problems and solutions. "Security Shield for Internet of Things" has been identified by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) as one of the four projects with a potential broader impact larger than the Internet itself 1. To help interested researchers to contribute to this research area, an IoT security roadmap overview is presented in this work based on a novel cognitive and systemic approach. The role of each component of the approach will be explained and interactions with the other main components of the proposed scheme and their impact on the overall system will be detailed. A case study will be presented to highlight components and interactions of the systemic and cognitive approach. Then, security questions about privacy, trust, identification and access control will be discussed. According to the novel taxonomy of IoT framework, different research challenges will be highlighted, important solutions and research activities will be exposed, and interesting research directions will be proposed. In addition, current standardization activities will be surveyed and discussed to ensure security of IoT components and applications.
