The IoT landscape is exploding, with predictions of more than 20 billion connected objects worldwide by 2020. But protecting and securing data, devices and services in this dynamic, ever- expanding landscape presents significant challenges. Many of today’s connected objects do more than simply provide information at your fingertips – they can make use of sensitive data, gather information and even impact the physical world. Because of this, there is a need for ubiquitous end-point security, regardless of the use case, to prevent devices from becoming a platform for attacks.

To be able to trust today’s digital services and devices, the IoT ecosystem needs to be built on a proven security foundation. Years away, right? Wrong. GlobalPlatform Specifications are readily available to the IoT community today, to protect service providers, device manufacturers and consumers on the edge.

In this presentation GlobalPlatform, will provide an overview of: - The increasingly urgent need for robust security in IoT objects and the principles that must be addressed if the IoT market is to fully evolve; - The value that GlobalPlatform specifications and frameworks deliver to IoT stakeholders to address their security and privacy concerns; - How GlobalPlatform’s new Device Trust Architecture framework empowers all actors in the value chain to seamlessly deliver, and securely manage, digital services and devices.
