The Internet of Things: Security, Standards and Collaboration

The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) is the world’s leading organization dedicated to defining and raising awareness of best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment. CSA harnesses the subject matter expertise of industry practitioners, associations, governments, and its corporate and individual members to offer cloud security- specific research, education, certification, events and products. CSA’s activities, knowledge and extensive network benefit the entire community impacted by cloud — from providers and customers, to governments, entrepreneurs and the assurance industry — and provide a forum through which diverse parties can work together to create and maintain a trusted cloud ecosystem.

The panel discussion of the Boston Chapter will be moderated by IoT Institute reporter Courtney Bjorlin and address many of the challenges faced by vendors and internal IT security teams today:

• The challenges in managing and securing the Internet of Things
• The standards landscape
• How security vendors, manufacturers and researchers are collaborating to set standards, test ideas and develop solutions
• What are the gaps and how do we bridge them

Marcellus Buchheit, President and CEO at Wibu-Systems USA, will join a distinguished panel for an in-depth discussion.
