The Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging from the lab into the everyday world, but the sheer number of devices of which it is predicted to comprise mean that current approaches to cybersecurity are unlikely to scale. Aspects of privacy associated with the widespread deployment of sensor devices have yet to find solutions. These and other problems make this a fruitful field for cybersecurity and computer science researchers.
Considering design, technological, human and societal aspects of the IoT, this one-day workshop examined the challenges, possible solutions and interesting research directions associated with the problem of securing the IoT.
The programme for the day included invited speakers as well as researchers from within the SICSA community who showcased their projects and interests.
