"It may be time for the U.S. government to step in to coordinate security standards across all the players that participate in creating the internet of things, Frost & Sullivan says."

Judy Curtis / SIPR's insight:
So how does a management team decide what it wants from the IoT? For Stacey Higginbotham, writing in IEEE Spectrum, there are two paths here. The first is to start small with a project that can offer a short-term return on investment (ROI). In a factory, this could mean installing cameras and sensors on a manufacturing line to replace human spot-checkers. The second path is a bit more visionary: Build a platform or product that can change your entire business model. For example, in 2015 Emerson Climate Technologies launched a new connected product in its HVAC business. With US $100 worth of sensors per home, the HVAC installer and Emerson could guarantee a period of time that a customer’s heating or cooling system would operate before needing repairs.

Takeaways from a talk on IoT security at a New America event in D.C. include two-factor authentication, encryption methods, and more.
Judy Curtis / SIPR's insight:
Discussions about the Internet of Things (IoT) often focus on a “Security vs. Privacy” paradigm. However, last month author Susan Landau emphasized instead that discussions should focus on “Security vs. Security” at a New America event titled Listening In: Cybersecurity in an Insecure Age. In her same-titled book, Landau’s historical perspective, legislative knowledge, and cyberattack descriptions make a convincing case for the need to secure our data. She describes how security has matured slowly leading up to today’s strong-encryption found in corporate, government, and military environments. 1
