Keynote: A Comprehensive, Practical IoT Security Program
The IoT M2M Council is embarking on a series of open forums to discuss IoT security topics as they pertain to devices, networks, and cloud/app platforms. The objective of the forums is to develop global guidelines and best-practices with a practical bent that can be used by IoT solutions providers, users, and government regulators as a departure point for understanding IoT security.
