CSO Roadshow 2018: How do we build a secure IoT? – CSO | The Resource for Data Security Executives
The Internet of Things (IoT) poses a significant challenge to IT security teams. Suddenly, instead of having users in control of the majority of end-point devices, the devices will out-number people by a factor of seven to one if analyst predictions are accurate. That means we need to think about how we secure our networks and these devices in new ways.
Dr Hugh Bradlow is the President of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, having spent over two decades in senior roles at Telstra including CTO, Head of Innovation and Chief Scientist. He gave the keynote address at the 2018 CSO Roadshow where I spoke to him.
“The way I characterise it, rather network is about moving the data from A to B. The cloud are all those software systems that are common to all applications that collect the data, and then the APIs that you use to connect to devices and the APIs that applications use to get information from devices and the cloud platform,” explained Bradlow.
