Security Solutions for Hyperconnectivity in the Internet of Things
- 1. Security Solutions for Hyperconnectivity in the Internet of Things Maurice Dawson Jr., Ph.D., D.CS., SMIEEE, CSSLP, CGEIT, CCISO Director of IIT Center for Cyber Security and Forensics Education Assistant Professor of Information Technology and Management Fulbright Scholar 2017-2018, 2014, Senior IEEE Member Illinois Institute of Technology | School of Applied Technology
- 2. Discussion The Internet of Things describes a world in which smart technologies enable objects with a network to communicate with each other and interface with humans effortlessly. This connected world of convenience and technology does not come without its drawbacks, as interconnectivity implies hackability. This talk will discuss technical, human, societal, and policy issues concerning hyperconnectivity and IoT. Additionally, this talk will offer insights from cutting-edge research about the strategies and techniques that can be implemented to protect against cyber-attacks.
- 3. Understanding the Challenge and Symptoms
- 4. Internet of Things The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human- to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
- 7. Embracing BYOD Culture Lack of standardization for device policy once brought into organization’s network.
- 8. Internet of Everything Researchers at Cisco Systems estimate that over 99 percent of physical devices are still unconnected and that there is a market of $14.4 trillion. This white paper urges business leaders to transform their organizations based on key learnings to be competitive for the future. (Evans, 2012).
- 9. Process There is no standard process for assessing IoT devices.
- 10. Applications Beyond Vulnerable Garnter group reported over 70% of vulnerabilities found at the application layer.
- 12. Over 13,000 Openings Cybersecurity talent gaps exist across the country. Closing these gaps requires detailed knowledge of the cybersecurity workforce in your region.
- 14. Research Available Issues with translating academic to practitioner.
