Description:
The Internet of things (IoT) is penetrating all industries, offering new service-delivery opportunities and operational benefits. This talk will look at some of the risks in the IoT in the context of use-cases from several industry verticals, and the emerging requirements and techniques for IoT security available to users and service providers.
IoT device makers, users, service providers and regulators face many security challenges. The situation right now related to IoT security is dire and probably going to get worse. Devices are made quickly and cheaply, often failing to take security into account. At the same time, conventional Enterprise IT networks are not designed or tuned to protect IoT services and devices. But there are ways to identify risks associated with security and safety in the IoT and treat or transfer these risks using an array of new technologies and security designs.
This talk will also be a sneak-peak at a new book coming out on October 2016, under the same name as this presentation.
This topic will touch on Risk and Cybersecurity combined.
