The advancements of emerging technologies offer consumers new
applications and systems aimed at providing assistance, efficiency,
comfort, connectivity and entertainment. Although these new
applications provide new capabilities and conveniences to consumers,
there is a need to understand some of the core non-functional elements
such as security, trust and privacy issues emerging from these systems
including collecting sensitive data through these applications.
This workshop will provide insights and views from manufacturers,
systems integrators, service providers and vertical implementations of
consumer IoT applications.

Who should enrol?

• Architects and Decision makers mainly involved in consumer application industries
• Designers and Senior Program/Product Management professionals
• Network and Service Providers
• IT Organizations
• Researchers and Start-ups
• Policy Makers and Regulators
• Civil Societies
• The most important stakeholders: Users

 

 

A to Z of securing IoT in Enterprise Deployments

Abstract:

With an estimate of 30 to 50 billion connected device by 2025, the
security of both applications and infrastructure remains a growing
concern. In addition, the ability to manage IoT devices remains a strong
challenge for Enterprises and IT administrators. To reduce the threat
surface, we need to have a way to identify and provide the right access
to these IOT devices with less manual intervention. Our next threat
vector could be a motion detector camera in a workplace, or a smart
building sensor.
This tech talk is field-aligned to share on the approaches and best
practices adopted by leading enterprises for securing their IoT

deployments. You will be introduced to the fundamentals of micro-
segmentation in IoT deployments. Then, we will discuss industry

standards, that on-boards devices in a novel way and provisions the
right access to services the devices connect to automatically. Later, you
will see how these technologies tie in to identify and protect devices. We
will explore a few alternatives to on-board IoT devices and conclude with
best practices adopted in IoT deployments – from cities to factories to
connected buildings.

Home IoT: Authentication, Security and Privacy
Abstract:

Many Business verticals have been leveraging Internet-of-Things (IoT)
for productivity, predictability and other critical reasons. In the same
spirit, Consumers at Home would also like to interconnect Digital
Appliances appropriately and accrue benefits. Two key apprehensions
that they have is interoperability and security pertaining to devices of
various nature and sources. Over the years, we have resolved many
interoperability issues through standards and forums. In this
presentation, we would like to address how easy access and operation
is possible while maintaining reasonable degree of Authentication,
Security and Privacy for Digital Appliances at Home.

The past 20 years have seen massive growth in video games. The video
game industry now generates four times the revenue of the movie
industry, and it is far bigger than the music industry. But with such
massive growth comes change and many new challenges. This talk will
explore the nature of that change, the challenges it brings, and why
those inside and outside of the games industry should be paying
attention.
