At least one Internet of Things (IoT), or “smart”, device, is already used by each person within the large majority of the population. The number of IoT devices are growing exponentially, and soon every member of the population will own a few to many IoT devices each.

IoT devices inherently bring privacy, safety and security risks to those using them, and attached in some way to them. Some risks, such as those created by medical devices, smart homes, smart grids and smart vehicles and roads literally could result in death. What are these data and systems security, privacy and safety risks? What needs to be done to mitigate those risks? Why aren’t device makers building security, privacy and safety controls into these devices?

Listen in to hear Abhik Chaudhuri, author of the book “Internet of Things, for Things and by Things” discuss these and many more IoT security, privacy and safety topics with Rebecca.
