The Internet of Things (IoT) presents opportunities for innovation in domains ranging from smart homes to smart cities.
Yet, many IoT devices ship with security flaws that put citizens and consumers at risk and create broader security, privacy, and robustness issues. In some cases, for example, IoT vendors have stopped supporting the devices entirely, resulting in malfunctioning (or even non-functioning) IoT devices. Additionally, the proliferation of IoT devices, many of which are controlled from cloud services, allows device vendors to collect—and potentially share—an unprecedented amount data about consumers.
Solutions to these emerging security, privacy, and robustness challenges around IoT will require perspectives, input, and collaboration from technologists and policymakers.
To begin this discussion, the CITP Conference on Security and Privacy Policy for the Internet of Things (IoT) will convene experts at the intersection of technology and policy from industry, academia, and civil society to discuss the latest issues surrounding the security and privacy for the Internet of Things.
