  • Dan Geer on #IoT | via @cryptome :
    https://securityledger.com/2014/05/security-and-internet-of-things-can-we-talk

    Attendees will hear an address by Dr. Dan Geer, the Chief Security
    Officer at #In-Q-Tel, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’s investment
    arm. Dan is one of the smartest and most prescient thinkers in the
    security world, who has made headlines by warning about the dangers
    of our reliance of technology monocultures like Microsoft’s Windows
    operating systems. Most recently, Dan has been sounding similar alarms
    about an (emerging) monoculture of “small devices and the chips that run
    them.” In other words: just because the network of the future doesn’t
    have a Windows sticker and “Intel Inside” logo on it, doesn’t mean that
    the same kinds of problems don’t exist.

    Many of you who have been following this blog know that the Security
    Ledger is particularly interested in covering the (fast) evolving border
    line between “traditional” IT security and the terra incognito of the
    Internet of Things.

    This week, we’re taking that discussion to the next level with our
    first-ever event: The Security of Things Forum (or SECoT for short).
    SECoT is going to be an amazing day of discussion and debate about
    what I consider one of the foremost challenges facing the
    technology community in the next decade: securing a rapidly
    expanding population of intelligent and Internet-connected devices.
