It’s been called junk hacking or stunt hacking, but Internet of Things (IoT) security is serious business. The risks and challenges of IoT create a new and vital security and privacy landscape. From resource constraints, to hostile deployment environments, to machine-to-machine (M2M) trust, to autonomous operations, the hurdles to IoT are both unique and formidable. This session will cover the different domains of IoT security from the home to the operating room and the factory floor, outline some of the classic security and privacy challenges that face IoT in novel ways, and the new security and privacy concerns specific to the IoT space. This talk will also cover existing frameworks for assessing IoT security and privacy as well as influential organizations in the space. The presentation will identify the broadest attack surfaces of IoT and common attacks used to compromise IoT deployments. This talk should inform the audience about the problems of the domain, the organizations working to influence change, and resources for those interested in learning more about IoT security.
