Chapters
The IoT Security Foundation has a mission to help secure the Internet of Things and ‘make it safe to connect’. We do this with a combination of activities such as producing best practice materials, frameworks, reference architectures, policy perspectives, industry reports, events, advocacy, special projects and outreach.
IoTSF believes that cyber security is a team sport which spans the globe, and we therefore encourage collaboration at all levels, in all aspects – from product developers to purchasers to government policy.
IoTSF regional Chapters are a ‘grassroots activity’ and support our mission by:
- Maximising the proliferation of high quality IoT cyber security good practice
- Highlighting specific local issues and enabling solutions
- Production of good practice materials: Extending contributions into working groups and creation of new working groups
- Translating best practice materials for wider consumption
- Extending the Foundation’s reach and promoting membership
- Exploring liaisons and collaborations with local institutions
- Developing relationships with National governments
- Raising awareness of, and helping to align international policy, reducing risk of divergent standards and practice

The IoT Security Foundation (IoTSF) is delighted to announce the establishment of its second Indian chapter based in Chennia, Tamil Nadu. In today’s increasingly interconnected world, the need for robust security measures across IoT domains has never been more pressing. Malign actors pose a constant threat to the integrity and privacy of connected devices and systems. The nature of cybersecurity is, by definition, borderless hence to combat this challenge, international collaboration is paramount. The establishment of IoTSF chapters fosters both global, and local networks of experts working together to defend against cyber threats and ensure the ongoing safety of IoT systems.
Chapter leader Ram said, “I’m very happy that IoTSF Chennai Chapter has been launched.
“We’re looking forward to bringing together professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts to collaborate, share insights, and contribute to the advancement of IoT security practices.
“We look to spread the best practices in our area which is the hub of technological innovations in IoT.”
He continued, “As a Chapter Leader, I’m eager to contribute to the IoT Security Foundation’s mission by
leveraging my extensive experience, knowledge, and passion for cybersecurity.
“I’m committed to promoting best practices, knowledge sharing, and collaboration within the IoT security community.
“My goal is to foster a strong network of professionals dedicated to addressing the unique challenges posed by IoT security.”
In the next 12 months, IoTSF Chennai aims to hold a minimum of four Chapter leadership meetings. There are also plans for “impactful Chapter events” in the first year “covering all quarters” with diverse workshops, seminars, and training sessions to cater to different interests within the IoT security domain.
Collaboration with educational institutions is also on the agenda with intentions to initiate discussions with local universities and colleges, offering expertise, resources, and collaborative opportunities to integrate IoT security into academic curricula.
Industry partnerships are also an ambition as well as an Annual Research Symposium with participation from academia and industry.
