The Internet of Things is an integral part of our daily lives. We are surrounded by interconnected devices at home, at work and on the streets. Apart from interconnectivity, these devices share another important trait - lack of basic security controls. Neglecting these controls can lead to a security breach which can cause significant damage to a company or cause havoc in the population. Critical Infrastructure security must be paid special attention due to its special nature.

In this session we will discuss the current IoT Security challenges and the ways to solve them.

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) - A Cybersecurity Perspective

Alam Mohammad, Deloitte

Operating technology (OT) networks of manufacturing companies and critical infrastructures depend heavily upon automation systems. These systems often use legacy hard- and software. Hence, they carry several security flaws. Despite the weak security posture of OT networks, the number of cyber-attacks against manufacturing industries has historically been low. The advent of the fourth industrial revolution encourages traditional OT...

Panel - Future of Industrial IoT & Critical Infrastructure Security

Gerhard Zehethofer, ForgeRock • Alam Mohammad, Deloitte • Dr. Vangelis Gazis, Huawei Technologies • Pablo Endres, SevenShift GmbH

More often we hear about the devastating effects the attack on critical infrastructure can have on the citizens of an affected city or a country. Yet we don't see large scale attacks yet being conducted. Panelist will discuss possible threats in today's world as well as the ways private sector and governments can collaborate to prevent such assaults on critical infrastructure.
