The IoT Security Foundation Conference
The world’s longest-running conference dedicated to IoT cybersecurity.
IET, London | 23rd October 2024
This year’s one-day event takes place on 23rd October and we return to the modern majesty of the IET, London.
The Annual IoTSF Conference has built a loyal global following from the IoT stakeholder communities and is renowned for delivering high-quality conference programmes and this is the 10th Annual Conference.
Advances in quantum computing and the democratisation of AI/ML in recent years have added more threats, yet have also given us more tools to use in our defences. New approaches such as zero trust and continuous assurance processes continue to evolve. Getting the basics right with training, certifications and audits continue to be trusted staples.
Our theme is therefore…
IoT Security: Past, Present and Future.

The Future of IoT Security: Embracing Collaborative Approaches and Comprehensive Frameworks | IoT Foundations of Trust: Secure by Design | The CISO Journey: From Coax to Resilience | |||
This session explores the evolving landscape of IoT security through keynote talks from leading business and technical experts. On the business side, we discuss the shift from isolated security solutions to collaborative, ecosystem-based approaches in securing IoT devices. Attendees will also learn about supply chain integrity for IoT and AI systems, including innovations for creating operational and trusted bills of materials.
|
This session explores contemporary cutting-edge approaches to building security into IoT devices and systems from the ground up. Experts will outline the essential elements for secure IoT products and also look at solutions for decentralized and autonomous IoT applications, examining how to leverage hardware security modules to protect vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. |
In this session, we look at how cyber security has changed over the last 20+ years from the CISO perspective. Where once upon a time all they worried about were operating systems, printers, memory sticks and shadow IT. But soon every new technology became shadow IT, with mobile phones, ipads, social media, cloud services, etc. |

The Practice of IoT Security: From Breach Response to Threat Anticipation | The Business of IoT Security: Mastering the Economics | Securing IoT: Lessons from the Past, Laughs in the Present, Leaps to the Future | |||
This illuminating session equips IoT security practitioners with actionable strategies to tackle current and emerging challenges. Attendees will learn effective breach response protocols for when things go wrong, techniques for anticipating threats in newly connected OT domains like critical infrastructure and healthcare, and methods for applying cross-domain architectural principles to enhance security in the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). |
In this session we look at security through the economics lens – how can security help us win in business? What do we need to know beyond the technical requirements, how do we weigh up risk and reward – how can the approach be used to underpin, even boost business objectives? |
This engaging IoT security session will equip attendees with valuable insights and practical strategies to enhance their IoT defences. We’ll examine historical patterns, extracting crucial lessons to fortify future IoT implementations. |

IoT Security Compliance: Navigating the Regulatory Landscape | Memory Safety: The Pernicious Challenge | The Human Side of IoT Security: Protecting People, Spaces, and Systems | |||
As connected devices become ubiquitous in our homes, businesses, and cities, the need for security oversight has never been more critical. Yet, the path to regulation is fraught with challenges. This session illuminates the complex reality of IoT security regulation and compliance, where innovation and protection must coexist. |
What is the memory safety challenge? How big an issue is it and what can be done? Join this session to learn about the complexities of memory safety, explore current solutions, and glimpse into the future of secure IoT systems. |
This session explores critical aspects of IoT security, focusing on protecting vulnerable communities and public spaces while addressing technical challenges in embedded systems. Experts will discuss how IoT technologies can be misused to target at-risk groups and strategies to mitigate these threats. |
