Launching New Service Speaking About the Internet of Things
I’ve given speeches to business and academic audiences around the world for nearly 30 years, but haven’t tried my hand at paid public speaking until now!
However, I feel so strongly about the transformational potential of the Internet of Things that I want to evangelize on the Big Stage now, reaching corporate management, associations, and — […]
Could IoT Allow Do-over for Privacy, Security — & Trust?
Expect to be reading a lot here about privacy and security between now and my panel on those issues at the IoT Summit in DC, Oct. 1 & 2, as I prep to ask the panel questions!
Here’s another, from Stacy Higginbotham (BTW, she does a great podcast on IoT issues!), based on a conversation with ARM CTO Mike Muller. […]
The Hill Publishes Op-Ed on IoT Security and Privacy
Earlier this week, The Hill, the highly-respected Capitol Hill newspaper, published an op-ed co-authored by Chris Rezendes of INEX Advisors and me on the ever-important topic of IoT privacy and security (or lack thereof!).
In it, we warned that “on the heels of the NSA scandal, news of security problems’ threat to privacy may cripple the […]
BABY MONITOR HACKED: MAKE-IT-OR-BREAK IT MOMENT FOR #IoT!!
I’m hitting on the same subject, privacy and security, for two posts in a row because now there’s been an incident that really could jeopardize the future of the IoT!
Call me an alarmist if you will, but I say ignore it at your peril…
As blogged by GigaOm, ABC News reported this week on an incident […]
CRUCIAL: more media coverage underscores need for IoT emphasis on privacy & security
Sorry to keep harping on it, but two recent articles in high-visibility publications — The NY Times and Forbes — underscore my contention that security and privacy issues threaten to derail the IoT revolution before it really gets going.
I say that because I spent a decade as an award-winning corporate crisis communicator — on more […]
More evidence U.S. lags dangerously behind EU on IoT privacy
There’s new confirmation that the U.S. remains dangerously behind the European Union on the twin issues of Internet of Things privacy and security. As I’ve warned before, especially in the context of the continued outrage over the NSA surveillance, if these issues aren’t solved collaboratively by the private sector and government, they threaten to derail […]
Shodan: maybe this will get people to take IoT privacy/security seriously!
Wired has an article this week about Shodan, the “IoT search engine,” which I hope scares the bejesus out of enough companies and government officials that they’ll finally realize how absolutely critical it is that we make security and privacy THE top public policy/corporate management priorities regarding the IoT.
Shodan’s homepage proudly proclaims that it will […]
#IoT breakthrough! 3-D printing tiny batteries to allow “smart dust”
Last Friday my wife and I were driving through the wilds of Utah (aside: wow, is the West different from The Hub of the Universe!) when we chanced upon SciFri, which was doing a great segment about cool government-funded energy research (no, not the Solindra picking winners-type stuff, but real basic research that can lead […]
user-based insurance: great example of IoT’s pros & cons
Today’s NYTimes has a feature on the growing phenomenon of “user-based insurance,” in which your insurance rates are based on your actual driving behavior, not the proxies that insurance companies used in the past to make up for lack of information on your real driving behavior.
I was only aware of Progressive’s Snapshot, but the article […]
