IoT: Security’s Brave New World - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

The IoT explosion means billions of new, “smart” devices gathering petabytes of data from a host of environments, many new and unfamiliar to IT. How can security possibly keep up with it all? Recent events such as the Mirai botnet suggest we’re already behind the curve – and that the need is not just to defend against threats to IoT, but to protect against threats arising from compromised IoT. In this talk, we’ll explore: - The primal forces pulling security in diametrically opposite directions (hint: “the cloud” isn’t everything) - The reality of IoT endpoints (many are far more complex than you’d suspect) - Breaking it down: Where is security making inroads? What are the areas to watch for innovation? - The road ahead: How will the evolution of IoT security impact society?
