IoT Security & Public Policy
The source for news and references covering security, global policy, and regulation in IoT.
Implementation of advanced IoT and edge technology in critical infrastructure, transportation, smart cities, energy distribution, and industry is increasingly being driven by government and intergovernmental initiatives and funding. At the same time, concern about the security of IoT deployments has accelerated in recent years, thanks to increased hacking activity, general global unrest, and the advent of new technology (AI, quantum computing), among other things. This new content channel from the IMC will provide news and references about IoT in public policy in four general categories:
- Regulation: such as government-imposed requirements for handling data generated by connected devices or providing trusted network environments.
- Security: Hacking or misuse of IoT deployments and steps taken for prevention, including standards/certifications that are often issued to document safety.
- Initiatives: Major government initiatives involving IoT and smart technologies aimed at transforming national or regional economies.
- Funding: Large-scale public projects that are likely to impact IoT technology deployment in major markets, such as public transport or healthcare.
