Session Abstract:

IoT now permeates daily life – from homes, to automobiles, and even personal health – and is expected to grow to over 25 billion devices by 2020. We struggle to balance technology usability and convenience, while still maintaining some semblance of security. To help achieve that balance, in come the good guys, “The Security Researchers”! In this presentation, we will dive into the world of IoT security research and the processes around analysis and testing of IoT technologies. By evaluating and reviewing various methodologies, we will illustrate effective IoT security testing using a holistic approach that focuses on the entire ecosystem of an IoT solution, including: hardware, mobile, and cloud environments – leaving no stone unturned. To complete the process, we will discuss how working with IoT manufacturers we resolve and mitigate discovered security issues and ethically disclose findings.
