By 2020, it is expected that 20.4 billion connected devices will get online. But the Internet of “Things” is more than smart grids, self-driving cars and connected wearables: it is very much about the people that use these devices, the data that they share willingly or not, and the potential security risks that these objects can pose for users and the Internet itself. 

The convergence of the Internet and physical world promises to bring game changing shifts to the Internet and how it is used. In this context, what are the threats we should anticipate, and what role can different stakeholders play to make sure the IoT doesn’t hurt trust in and on the Internet?

This session will explore questions such as: 

  • What are the privacy and security threats posed by IoT?
  • What measures are needed to make IoT more secure? Is mass-encryption a solution?
  • What should IoT manufacturers do? Are market-forces sufficient to lead to better security and privacy in IoT?
  • Which stakeholders should be involved in IoT governance structures? (e.g. users, policymakers, technical community)
