IoT DevCon Talks on Trust and Security

christineyoung

Security was a key theme at this year's IoT DevCon in Santa Clara. "In order to achieve the benefits of a connected world, you have to create trust in that connected world," noted Bill Diotte, CEO of Mocana, which protects more than 100 million IoT devices with its comprehensive security platform. Diotte highlighted that developers have a mission to build secure products and discussed ways to do this. in another talk at the conference, Jennifer Gilburg of Intel explained how zero-touch IoT device onboarding offers a much more secure methodology than its manual counterpart. For the full report of these talks, read "Are You Doing Enough to Build Trust in Our Connected World?"

  • This really caught my eye. I read plenty about security is the biggest hurdle facing IoT adoption. This statement is usually followed up by a pitch for one vendor's or another's technology. But tying in Trust brings the security discussion to a new level -- where it should be.

     

    This line really caught my eye: "...there’s good awareness now around security, along with resources like secure chips, point solutions, and do-it-yourself methods. The problem here is, most of these options are disconnected, so it’s up to developers to stitch something together, which exposes systems to risk." Building a cohesive security is trust. The discussion has some nuances, but it is framed in an appealing way.
