IoT Discussion

Automation of daily life
Easily access information
IoT is new and difficult to develop
700 different possible devices for one scenario
If you properly setup devices, you can even be woken up by a toaster.
Personal data is saved and needs to be protected
IoT devices can be abused (e.g. fire alarm as morning alarm)
Example: Guy in huge company was able to control whole building
Also: nuclear weapons can be a potential risk -> Additional security measures
New jobs
Loosing jobs
e.g. gas station
No system is 100% secure
Time & Costs
Cisco provides certifications for security mechanisms
Is it possible to enable secure embeded systems?
Question about waranty and legal rights?
What happens when a malfunctioning device causes damage?
Environmental impact?
No argument against IoT
Poor people are exploited anyway
Software is expensive
