Safety in a Connected World: Managing Security in the Internet-of-Things
In today's world, we are always connected by the internet-of-things (IoT). It seems we crave information and constant status updates. Some find it necessary to check in on houses or pets. Others enjoy the convenience of unlocking doors or turning on lights with a smartphone. What many may not realize is that IoT significantly increases exposure to the internet, creating security vulnerabilities.Each connected device is a potential target and with a large number of connected devices, attackers have many opportunities to steal personal information. While we can't predict how sophisticated attacks will become, we can take active steps to protect ourselves. This presentation will explore potential solutions.
