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?
- Should there be a more standardized approach to IoT security?

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?

Session 4: Fuelling connectivity - Delivering the spectrum needs of the Internet of Things

Like all stakeholders, communication regulators remain committed to supporting the growth of IoT, and the management of current and future spectrum needs remains paramount to achieve this. Given the relatively early stage of IoT adoption and thus the challenges of predicting future spectrum needs, continued collaboration between stakeholders, as well as ongoing monitoring of the market and its spectrum demand is required. This session will analyze the current approaches to spectrum management and the extent to which the IoT continuum may change this. It will also look at possible bands and technological solutions that are available to meet the future spectrum requirements.

- What work are policymakers and industry players doing to help meet the current spectrum requirements for IoT, and how can they work together with other stakeholders to ensure the demand for future IoT applications is met?
- What technologies and policy tools are available, and how can these help to ensure the right amount of connectivity and capacity is available?
- How important is a flexible approach to the use of spectrum for the future of IoT?
- What part can spectrum above 6Ghz and the milimeter-wave bands plan in delivering a solution?
- How can we meet the spectrum requirements that enables 5G to be a catalyst for the Internet of Things?
- Should spectrum be licensed or license-exempt for IoT? Under what conditions should spectrum be exploited?

Smart session 2: IoT as an enabler for industrial growth and competition (East wing of ballroom)

It is argued that the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) will be the largest driver of economic growth and employment in the next decade, generating new revenue streams and markets for companies across all industrial sectors. The IIoT is already here however, with more and more companies adopting smart, connected products and solutions to their existing systems. These solutions offer new opportunities for functionality, reliability and new capabilities that disrupt traditional value chains, and have led to manufacturers across all sectors to rethink the way they do things. This session will identify some key examples of Industrial IoT in use, and explore the direct and indirect benefits of the technology on businesses. Participants will explore how successful the IIoT has been to date, as well as the additional work that needs to be done by all stakeholders in order to fully maximize this opportunity. Finally, the session will look at the future possibilities of the industrial Internet of Things and the additional growth, innovation and value that we will be able to see from this technology in the next 5 years.

- How best can policymakers and industry players exploit the opportunities promised by the Industrial Internet of Things?
- How is the Industrial Internet of Things changing the competitive landscape of industries, including manufacturing, agriculture, and the energy grid?

Summary of smart sessions

Each moderator will spend 5 minutes providing a summary of each of the smart sessions

15:30 – 16:50

Monetizing the Internet of Things and a look at what the new business models will be.

By 2020 forecasts project that billions of new devices will be connected to the Internet, and this will create an excellent opportunity for companies and entrepreneurs to innovate and create new ways of doing business. Manufacturers are already rolling out exciting new products and solutions across all sectors and we have seen examples of these during the previous smart sessions.

Within the IoT space, it is argued however that traditional approaches to business, including feature innovation and price competition will need to be fundamentally rethought of in order for companies to increase the maximum revenue potential on new products, and to remain competitive in this increasingly competitive space.

This session will explore the impact that the IoT has had on existing business models to date, and will examine what the future business models across different sectors will look like. Stakeholders will also identify ways that IoT solutions can positively transform traditional product-based business, and will examine ways to establish long-term value creation and value capture.

- What influence has the IoT had on existing business models to date?
- What are the new business and reimbursement models that the IoT supply chain can consider?
- How can IoT transform business, making it more profitable and more efficient?
- What lessons can companies looking to adopt an IoT product or solution learn from those that already have?
- What new actors will emerge?
- Where do investors see the greatest opportunities? What areas are the most promising?
