ABOUT

This event will provide attendees with practical knowledge and tools to meet the many-faced challenges of IoT security.

In May 2015 the first summit on IoT security was held at the world famous Bletchley Park in the UK. It brought together industry thought leaders and experts to examine the status of security in evolving applications enabled by hyper connectivity.

At the close of the summit it was clear that something had to be done to address the wicked security challenges that IoT brings. Those challenges include complexity, convenience, cost and a general lack of awareness – with users, purchasers and even throughout the supplier base. As a result, the IoT Security Foundation was formed to meet the challenges head on – IoTSF is a collaboration of industry, academia and other stakeholder groups united in the cause to drive both the quality and pervasiveness of security in IoT.

Just as IoT is becoming prime time for industry, so too must security as the threat of connection affects us all. Yet security needs to evolve along with the new frontiers of technology, and all technology providers must provide a duty of care to their customers and the wider IoT eco-system.

There is no cost to attend, yet space is limited for the first event in the series. Interested parties should register interest and await confirmation.
