Guest speakers: Steve Lord - Mandarolian

Title : Trying (and failing) to secure the Internet of Things
Have you ever felt that your life is incomplete without socks that tell you when to wash them? Do you feel a strange hollow sense of ennui that can only be filled with a cloud-based solution for tracking the freshness and replenishment of eggs in your fridge? Well worry no more, friend, the Internet of Things is here with solutions for every problem, even ones that don’t exist!
In this talk we’ll take a humorous look at the way the wonderful world of IoT works, the security issues surrounding it and I’ll focus specifically on the IoT widgets, and problems facing IoT designers and providers. We’ll also look at some hypothetical solutions and my own failed attempts at implementing them.
Guest speakers: John Mersh - Trusted Software
John has worked in the computer industry for the last 30 years in fields ranging from CAD to Hardware Security Modules to Mobile Phones. He has been working in software security for more than ten years.
John has worked on systems ranging in size from mainframes down to Java cards and has been deeply involved with the development of security standards such as the GlobalPlatform TEE, Trusted Computing Group Mobile TPM, OMTP mobile security standards and the Bluetooth Link Manager. He has worked for a variety of companies including ARM on the TrustZone Architecture and now runs his own consultancy company.
Title: Software and System Security: a life vest in the IoT ocean
Software and system security is always given at least lip service by every IoT provider but how many actually implement it?
This talk covers the many areas that software and system security covers which don't just cover the “things” but the whole system. John will explain how the right security solution can not only protect your customers but can protect your IP and your business against the sharks that are to be found in the IoT ocean.
