Communities seeking the benefits of connectivity, such as lighting, transportation, smart grid or operations services are faced with difficult choices: What are the first steps; how to integrate applications; which vendors to work with; budget constraints, financial needs, business models and managing private-public partnerships; how to assure an effective long term strategy while navigating short term priorities and constraints; inter-departmental silos and streamlining of project development and operations; and others. Learn how communities are addressing these issues and how the communications ecosystem can support their plans for current and future connectivity.

The greater the number of networks, applications and interoperable edge points, the greater the security vulnerabilities. As IoT applications for smart living (ie, hospital care) and automotive (connected vehicles) become more sophisticated, risks increase. What security protocols should be used, and which require development? Is the NIST Framework enough? What else should industries, e.g., communications, automotive, smart energy, healthcare take on to ensure that people are safe what IoT security standards need to be developed?

Speakers:
Dr. Chris Greer, Senior Executive, U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Bryan Lee, Threat Intelligence Researcher, Palo Alto Networks
David Tennenhouse, Chief Research Officer, VMware
Chris Drake, CTO, iconectiv - Moderator

 

If urban mobility of people and goods were to be constructed today on a clean slate enabled by broad spectrum connectivity, what would that look like? What are the desired user experiences of consumers, retailers, community leaders and citizens, first responders and others? Is there a way to transform our community environment and the way transportation integrates with it to move from legacy to a new form of mobility? Learn how automotive, urban development and communications thought leaders approaching this process of transformation as well as the opportunities for innovators and technology developers.
