This workshop will discuss emerging and future trends for IoT technologies and their implications for IoT cybersecurity. As IoT becomes more sophisticated, automated and ubiquitous, it becomes increasingly important for IoT cybersecurity considerations to keep pace with emerging risks and threats.
Over two days, the workshop will feature presentations and discussions on many IoT topics, including Federal sector concerns as the NIST Cybersecurity for IoT program works on preparing to update NIST SP 800-213, considerations for federal healthcare use cases, emerging use cases for IoT in the private sector, and the increasing automation of IoT and integration of IoT with AI technologies.
We look forward to getting your thoughts and input on these important topics.
