The Internet of Things (IoT) is putting autonomous computing devices and sensors on the internet at breakneck speed. With little or no planning for security, these devices present both opportunities and threats. The recent Symposium On Securing the IoT, the first entirely focused on security issues, attempted to address this gap.
The conference was held at the Crowne Plaza San Francisco Airport hotel for nearly 100 IoT and security researchers and professionals on March 5-7. But even before the conference close, planning was under way for an East Coast venue later this year and a followup U.S. IoT Security conference in 2019
