The Annual IoT Security Foundation Conference, the world’s longest-running conference dedicated to IoT cybersecurity, has announced the theme for this year’s conference will be how to secure IoT in the era of AI. The conference taking place on November 7th at the IET in London has built a loyal global following from the IoT stakeholder community and is renowned for delivering high-quality conference programmes.
As artificial intelligence (AI) has now firmly entered the mainstream it is poised to shake up many industries. AI has been of growing interest to cybersecurity professionals for many years both from a defensive and offensive perspective and this year’s conference will include an emphasis on what AI means to developers and cyber defenders working at the leading edge.
The 2023 IoTSF Conference includes a line-up of esteemed speakers who bring their expertise and insight from leading organisations such as Arm, BT Group, The Alan Turing Institute, Microchip Technology Inc., University College London (UCL), and Bosch.
John Moor, Co-Founder and Managing Director of the IoT Security Foundation said, “The Internet of Things and Artificial intelligence present huge opportunities for the global economy and society. However, in the wrong hands, these technologies – tools for good – can become weapons and used against us. This year’s conference examines how we can leverage AI in cybersecurity whilst recognising the accompanying threats. And, as per our ‘make it safe to connect’ mission, we will provide case examples of how to do better security and provide an update to international regulatory developments”.
The IoTSF is hosted by TechWorks which is also home to a growing family of advanced engineering and innovation networks including cybersecurity (IoTSF), semiconductors (NMI and techNES) and automotive electronics innovation (AESIN). Established in 1996, it has been at the core of the UK deep tech community with the ambition to harness the country’s world-class innovation capabilities and develop its position as a global technology super-power. The association has transformed since it was originally formed in lockstep with its member and stakeholder interests as the global technology industry evolves and new opportunities emerge.
Charles Sturman, CEO of TechWorks commented, “The IoTSF is an important annual event for the IoT community with a reputation for always delivering high-quality programmes and this trend will continue this year. The agenda has a compelling line-up of speakers who will bring their expertise to the forefront of this year’s conference, and we are looking forward to seeing you there.”
