GEC NEWS WIREGISEC 2015 to discuss ways to make IoT security a reality
IoT is one of the many topics that will be dissected and debated at the 3rd Gulf Information Security Expo & Conference (GISEC) scheduled to take place from 26-28 April 2015 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).
With the consumer, automotive and industrial sectors having been identified as those that will drive the immense growth of IoT, Cisco has warned that while IoT presents conveniences to individuals and organisations, greater challenges await companies and those responsible for defending the network from cybercrimes.
“As organisations continue to seek ways to capitalise on the vast opportunities that IoT brings, the number and type of attack vectors will only continue to expand,” said Philippe Roggeband, Business Development Manager of Cisco Security Architecture and one of the keynote speakers at GISEC.
Roggeband will be delivering his keynote presentation on day two of GISEC conference, 28 April 2015. He will be zeroing in on the topic of ‘What do we need to make IoT security a reality?’, where he will reveal valuable insights on achieving the immense business benefits of IoT through a highly robust and secure network infrastructure, the big impact of small devices: how do you ensure the security of smart things, and the need for a new security model.
On day one of GISEC conference, 27 April 2015, Les Anderson, Vice President Cyber, BT, will discuss threat scenarios from ‘IoT’ and ‘Software Defined Networks’ including next steps to protect against next generation of attacks. Also, Hani Nofal, Executive Director, Intelligent Network Solutions, GBM, will share his thoughts on connected chaos within the internet using anonymity and sharing devices.
