Annual Conference 2024: Past, Present and Future

The Internet of Things Security Foundation (IoTSF) 10th Annual Conference 2024 brought together experts to discuss the past, present, and future of IoT security. The conference, held on October 23rd at the IET in London, explored the evolving landscape of IoT security in a world increasingly shaped by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and quantum computing. Speakers and panellists addressed a wide range of topics, including:

  • Collaborative Approaches and Comprehensive Frameworks: Experts discussed the need for collaboration and comprehensive frameworks to address the complex challenges of IoT security.
  • Foundations of Trust and Secure Design: Sessions focused on building trust in IoT ecosystems through secure design principles, open and auditable hardware security, and the importance of randomness in post-quantum security.
  • Navigating the Regulatory Landscape: Participants gained insights into the evolving regulatory landscape, international cybersecurity standards, and the importance of compliance.
  • Practical IoT Security: Speakers shared best practices for breach response, threat anticipation, and implementing cross-domain security patterns.
  • The Business of IoT Security: The conference examined the economic aspects of IoT security, including prioritizing and measuring security investments.
  • The Human Side of IoT Security: Experts discussed the impact of IoT on people, spaces, and systems, emphasizing the need to protect at-risk communities from tech abuse.

The IoTSF Conference 2024 provided valuable insights and fostered collaboration among industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers to advance the state of IoT security.
