Oleg Logvinov, Chair, IEEE Internet Initiative at IEEE, based in the United States participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Securing The Internet of Things (IoT) Securing The Internet of Things (IoT) Along with the ever-changing definition, nature, and purpose of computers, the continued evolution toward higher computing power, cheaper processors, faster communication networks, and rapidly increasing global connectivity has enabled a shift from desktop to laptops, to mobile phones, and now everyday connected objects, called “Internet of Things” (IoT). When almost any physical device, object, or thing can now be internet-enabled and linked to additional computing power and analytic capabilities that make it “smart”; it creates limitless potential and possibilities for each nation: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA). It is because of this potential that billions of physical devices are expected to join the global digital network in the coming years. As a result, there is growing excitement that “The Internet of Things (IoT)” will bring nations the next industrial revolution because of the way it will change the way, we the people, will live, work, entertain, shop, and travel, as well as how each NGIOA will interact with each other within and across nations. This brings a number of opportunities as well as risks for each nation: its governments, industries, organizations, academia, and individuals (NGIOA-I). Of all the technology trends that are taking place right now, the IoT brings the most complex challenges for which perhaps no nation is prepared. While the “Internet of Things” has great promise, the governance, regulatory, business, policy, operational and technical challenges must be tackled before these systems can be widely embraced across NGIOA. Now is the time for decision-makers across NGIOA to structure their thoughts about the potential impact, opportunities, and risks that are likely to emerge from the Securing The Internet of Things (IoT).
