With connected devices from kettles and refrigerators to heating and cooling and fitness tracking devices, IoT has certainly taken the consumer world by storm. But what does all of this hype mean for businesses?
It is predicted that the average business expects to be dealing with 7,000 IoT devices over the next 18 months with smaller businesses expected to have more, which has increased the number of opportunities and entry points for cyber criminals to infiltrate a business. More needs to be done to protect today’s enterprises, who can ill afford to neglect the impact connected IoT devices have. The need for security is a certainty. With the cyber landscape constantly evolving, CISOs need to be one or two steps ahead to detect any eventual threat to their business.
Thankfully, there are leading experts within the field of IT security who are at hand to discuss and guide what practises enterprises should be implementing to secure against IoT. One of the key panellists at The IT Security Analyst and CISO Forum is Quentyn Taylor, Director of Information Security, Governance and Risk at Canon Europe, who has built and transformed his IT security team to a division covering the entire information security needs of the company. Known in the industry for being one of its most progressive security professionals, Quentyn has created one of the most diverse and respected teams in the company, striving to drive a more mature attitude to risk. Due to his focus on results, he was personally selected by the CIO to run Canon’s Tiger Team, focusing on resolving high profile IT issues. As part of his information security role, Quentyn now focuses on helping the business use security as a competitive advantage in both product solution design and development. His innovative security operation is used globally and incorporates Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Quentyn will be speaking at a discussion which will delve into the impact IoT is having on the corporate world and what inadvertent risks organisations might suffer as a result. It will also leave attendees with crucial advice they can take away when dealing with or setting up policies to address IoT in the workplace.
He said about the event: ““The IT Security Analyst and CISO Forum Debates is one of the most insightful conferences I have attended, great speakers, superb panels and tremendously useful content.”
