The IoT Security Foundation is running a conference on IoT cybersecurity, this year on a theme of how to secure IoT in the era of AI, on November 7, at the IET in London.
As the Foundation says, artificial intelligence (AI) has now entered the mainstream and is poised to shake up industries. AI has been of growing interest to cyber security professionals for years, from a defensive and offensive perspective. Hence this year’s conference will cover what AI means to developers and cyber defenders.
The IoTSF Conference includes speakers from Arm, BT Group, The Alan Turing Institute, Microchip Technology Inc, University College London (UCL), and Bosch.
John Moor, Co-Founder and Managing Director of the Foundation said: “The Internet of Things and Artificial intelligence present huge opportunities for the global economy and society. However, in the wrong hands, these technologies – tools for good – can become weapons and used against us. This year’s conference examines how we can leverage AI in cybersecurity whilst recognising the accompanying threats. And, as per our ‘make it safe to connect’ mission, we will provide case examples of how to do better security and provide an update to international regulatory developments”.
The IoTSF is hosted by TechWorks which is also home to a family of engineering and innovation networks including cyber security (IoTSF), semiconductors (NMI and techNES) and automotive electronics innovation (AESIN). Set up in 1996, it describes itself as having been part of the UK deep tech community with the ambition to harness the country’s capabilities and develop its tech position.
Charles Sturman, CEO of TechWorks added: “The IoTSF is an important annual event for the IoT community with a reputation for always delivering high-quality programmes and this trend will continue this year. The agenda has a compelling line-up of speakers who will bring their expertise to the forefront of this year’s conference, and we are looking forward to seeing you there.”
