“Cybersecurity & The Internet of Things”
Historically, the Internet has been an outlet for us to interact with each other, as well as create and consume. By contrast, the “Internet of Things” is a concept that focuses on machines interacting with each other—in addition to interacting with people—to create new data. The growth of this new cyber ecosystem is enabled by embeddable and wearable computing; affordable sensors; worldwide networks; and big data analytics.
Average consumers are starting to see the Internet of Things extend from desktops and laptops to cell phones, home appliances, cars, and even medical devices. For decades, the military has relied on companies like Raytheon to provide innovation and security for similar networks in battle spaces. The importance of information assurance, big data processing and analytics to predict threats, and vulnerability and threat assessment processes and techniques will be discussed.
