When 50 billion devices start sending data over networks, security challenges become exponentially harder. Machine to machine (M2M) solutions require the ability to handle existing security governance investments yet support a variety of security protocols, encryption and privacy that cross mobility, sensor networks, diverse devices, M2M telecommunications and data centers. The nature and scale of the M2M infrastructure causes some unique challenges such as trust (untrusted devices, networks), cost (cannot be expensive considering the large number of devices), shared data (who owns it and how to securely share it), access (static access controls cannot adjust to the dynamic nature of M2M), performance (low power devices can´t spare many cycles for security), heterogeneity, integration into existing security paradigms etc. that have to be addressed.

This block of session will provide insight and advice on the security aspects of this emerging technology.
