Billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices may be embedded in systems or elements of critical services – including, for example, power, information and communications technology, and emergency response. Sectors such as these share dependencies that are meaningful to public safety and national security.

As the war in Ukraine creates an abrupt rise in cyber risks, and global events trend toward uncertainty, IoT security – as an element of critical infrastructure security – has never been more important. At the same time, profit-driven criminals may target IoT in critical infrastructure, with public safety implications.

Our panel of experts will discuss how industry and governments across the globe can cooperate on standards and initiatives to push back against the tide of malicious cyber activity and safeguard critical infrastructure against IoT-based vulnerabilities.
