Session 2: Security for the Internet of Things
Policymakers, enterprises and consumers are all now realizing the potential benefits of the Internet of Things. However, in order to fully realize the widespread benefits that this technology can offer, as well as to gain widespread consumer trust and confidence, it is vital that the stakeholder community works together to deliver innovative solutions to tackle vulnerabilities and deliver a secure and reliable IoT infrastructure. In November 2014, the report submitted to the U.S. President by the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC) revealed that the IoT has several security factors that both public and private sectors should consider, in order to establish a truly connected society. This session will look at these recommendations and where we stand regarding the implementation one year after its submission. Participants will also discuss the current efforts that industry is making with regards to IoT security on a global scale, whilst also exploring what additional work needs to be done. Finally, participants will explore the challenges that manufacturers face of securing an IoT device and the new innovative technologies that can help with these.
- What does security mean for different IoT stakeholders?
- How can companies developing IoT products implement appropriate levels of security and ensure best practice?
- Are companies everywhere doing enough to ensure security?
- To what extent are vendors adopting ‘security by design’?
- How challenging is it to secure an IoT device?
- Given the larger attack surface that an exponential growth in connected devices creates, how can the IoT community work together to develop innovative security solutions and stay one step ahead of hackers and cyber criminals?
- What innovative technologies and solutions are available to help companies add tighter security to their IoT products and solutions?

Session 3: Privacy in a Connected World – a continuing balancing act
The IoT is playing a significant and growing role in people’s lives, from energy meters and thermostats, medical devices, home security, parking meters and vending machines. While the IoT carries the potential to have a positive impact on citizens and economies, there are concerns over the amount and use of data collected. Proponents argue that the use of data-driven innovation supports economic growth and helps to tackle societal challenges, while consumer groups and regulators often argue that industry should consider ‘data minimization’ a priority. There is a growing argument that ownership of personal data should be retained by the individual and that financial benefit should accrue for any personal data that is shared. This session will explore what a world of connected devices will mean for people’s privacy. It will identify ways that policymakers and industry players can build a system that works for everyone, one that maximizes value but also builds trust and confidence in the technologies, and one that combats harmful threats and scenarios.
- To what extent can the use of data boost economic growth and improve societal benefits?
- How can fostering data innovation without controversy be achieved in order to achieve the consumer buy-in that the IoT needs?
- How best can policymakers work with stakeholders to balance the monetary value of data that is gathered by companies, with the fundamental level of privacy that many consumers desire?
- Should there be a baseline for privacy legislation in the US as is the case in other countries like the UK and Canada?
- What solutions and efforts is industry offering to help combat potential data breaches and other scenarios that are harmful to people’s personal information?
- What does a world of connected devices mean for people’s privacy?
- What will the growing market for personal data look like in the next 3 years?
- Should individuals also benefit financially from personal data that is shared by the Internet of Things?
