Are you prepared to address the new IoT security regulations?
Join a lineup of IoT experts and cybersecurity leaders for an important panel discussion on pressing security changes and challenges across the IoT landscape.
As the regulatory environment implements new standards, organizations will be forced to adapt the way they build devices to ensure they are not only secure by design, but also throughout the lifecycle of the device. These changes will impact every part of an organization and will require collaborative problem-solving and critical thinking across teams from hardware to cloud.
Our panel brings together firmware and embedded engineering experts to connect the dots and provide you with expert opinions on the path forward.
The panel will cover:
- Insights from the State of IoT Software Development Report
- Advice on adapting to the changing regulatory environment for connected devices
- Tools and processes required to ensure your products comply
- How to implement security thinking chip-to-cloud in your organization
Agenda:
- 6:00-7:00pm – Mix & Mingle
- 7:00-7:45pm – Panel Discussion
- 7:45-8:00pm – Audience Q&A
- 8:00-9:00pm – Mix & Mingle
