Keynote: Time to Reboot IoT Security
Session Abstract:
The Internet of Things offers tremendous opportunity for innovation and productivity, but in an increasingly complex world, IoT devices need to be protected in order to deliver transformational business outcomes. As industrial networks converge with enterprise networks and the volume of connected devices grows every day, IoT Security is becoming the fundamental foundation for achieving transformational goals such as Industry 4.0 or increased business resiliency and agility. This session will describe the accelerating transformational opportunity IoT is driving with real world use cases as well as how new capabilities and processes are key to unlocking this value. Participants will walk away with several best practice capabilities to explore in their organizations to accelerate and enable IoT initiatives.
