Navigating IoT Security Challenges

The IoT market continues to grow, with a predicted 14-and-a-half billion devices being connected this year and 27 billion devices being connected by 2027. Many of these devices are now being used in environments where security is critical. But where do we go for guidance and best practices? I'm your host, Lee Harrison. Today, on the Siemens Security By Design podcast, I am joined by John Moor, the co-founder of the IoT Security Foundation.  In this episode, John shares his background in embedded systems and discusses the IoT Security Foundation's mission to improve security in the rapidly growing IoT market. He also highlights the massive increase in connected devices and the consequent security challenges, emphasizing the need for immediate action to address these vulnerabilities. In addition, you will hear more about the upcoming IoT Security Foundation Conference, focusing on the intersection of IoT security and AI, underscoring the importance of developing trustworthy AI systems.
