On Tuesday 10th March, I  was invited to give a guest lecture about IoT security in Blekinge Tekniska Högskola (BTH) in Karlskrona, Sweden. Karlskrona is approximately 3 hours away from Malmö.

During my lecture, I gave realistic examples of attacks that targeted IoT systems. For instance, attacks targeting consumer drones, electric cars, and IP cameras. I also discussed the technical, procedural, and human challenges involved in securing IoT and some safeguards.

In the future, I will work to automate IoT security.  Similar to smart devices acting autonomously to perceive and act on their environment, IoT security should evolve towards greater autonomy in detecting threats and reacting to attacks. This evolution relates to the autoimmunity of smart devices allowing for the prevention and containment of attacks in hostile environments.
