MWC19 Barcelona Seminar: Future Proofing the Internet of Things – IoT Security Today and Tomorrow
Without security, today’s vision for the Internet of Things cannot become tomorrow’s reality. If customers cannot trust that their smart door locks, energy meters or smart home speakers are secure, and their personal data is at risk of being stolen or tampered with, the IoT cannot exist.
To unlock the full potential of the market, IoT devices and services must be secured, and companies have to take responsibility to embed security from the beginning and at every stage of the service lifecycle.
This seminar brings together leading industry experts from across the ecosystem and sheds light on current best practices as well as future developments and security mechanisms. The topics covered include:
IoT Security Today
- A live hack highlighting current vulnerabilities
- Industry code of conducts, standards, guidelines and assessment processes
IoT Security Tomorrow
- Future certification developments within Europe
- SIM-based IoT security solutions
