IOT

This talk will be on IoT security and will use the UK Code of Practice for Consumer IoT Security to underpin the discussion.I will describe various vulnerabilities and attacks that made the news headlines, which I conjecture may be the underlying reason why we need these rules now. In October 2018, the UK Government published the Code of Practice for Consumer IoT Security to support all parties involved in the development, manufacturing and retail of consumer IoT. World-renowned security technologists like Bruce Schneier, believe that the time indeed has come to regulate IoT. The talk will open the floor to question whether regulation can be a fix to make us all more secure.
