IMPLICATIONS OF THE GROWING ADOPTION OF AI & ML
AI and the technologies that it empowers, such as Machine Learning or Deep Learning, have had a significant impact on the roll-out, applications and evolution of IoT technology already. As we move into more complex and highly automated use cases, the need for smart automation becomes a necessity, and its reliability a must. Fields such as healthcare, smart home or autonomous tech and vehicles require full proof AI to make the right decisions at the right time. As we build ever smarter AI systems, what new IoT use cases will this enable? What are some of the key opportunities out there for IoT that better AI and ML systems will enable?

INCREASING THREATS: IoT SECURITY BEYOND THE DEVICE
As more and more cyberattacks make headlines these days, there’s global concern about IoT security, particularly as IoT networks are rolling out across multiple industries and critical sectors of government. It’s more imperative than ever for not only devices to be secure, but for IoT environments to be secured as there could be huge implications – financially, socially, physically, and more. Identifying and understanding threats in the IoT ecosystem allows for better protection and prevention – but how can this be done? This session will explore IoT security architectures, as well as a combination of how design, manufacturing, and operating securely can guarantee a secure IoT network. What new regulations and protocols are being rolled out for IoT security? What are some recent advancements in security that are being used? How can engineers design for more resiliency and security?
