Internet of Things (IoT) Security and Forensics: Challenges and Opportunities

All welcome to an open lecture hosted by the Police Studies programme! 

Kim-Kwang Raymond Choo, University of Texas at San Antonio / University of Iceland (Fulbright Distinguished Scholar) will deliver the talk: Internet of Things (IoT) Security and Forensics: Challenges and Opportunities

• The lecture will take place in room M101 and will also be here via Zoom

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are becoming commonplace in our society, due to their widespread applications (e.g., environmental monitoring, smart cities, healthcare, surveillance, and battlefields such as Internet of Battlefield Things). Such devices are also generally capable of capturing a broad range of information, including digital artifacts that can be used for cyber threat intelligence and inform security mitigation strategy formulation. There are, however, a number of challenges associated with designing IoT cyber security and threat intelligence solutions. In addition to the technical challenges, there are also associated legal and policy challenges that need to be considered in the design and deployment of such solutions in practice. These challenges will be discussed in this presentation.
