ABOUT

IoTSec Australia
 

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most transformative technology phenomenon of our time.  Regardless of who you ask, IoT adoption is exploding with Gartner predicting approximately 100 billion devices by 2025.  The IoT phenomenon will be worth tens of trillions dollars to the global economy as we connect the unconnected, people to things (P2P), machine to people (M2P) and machine to machine (M2M).  It’s no wonder then that security and risk issues are of top concern to executives as they balance the opportunity value versus risk to deploying IoT en masse.

Against this backdrop IoTSec Australia was founded as an industry initiative whose aim is to help ensure we realise the potential of IoT by advocating for secure practices of the IoT ecosystem encompassing people, process and technology.  It seeks to do this by bringing together IoT/Security practitioners, thought leaders and business executives to collaborate on innovative ways we can pursue our goal of secure by design.

We view IoT as an ecosystem where collaboration between groups, communities with a vested interest is paramount.
