The recent proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) networks has opened many exciting areas of research. Security, unfortunately, has came as an after thought of IoT deployments resulting in many known breaches and attacks on general Internet infrastructure using compromised IoT devices. It is thus imperative to consider security for the IoT systems that are constantly being integrated with our daily life. This workshop will primarily focus on application of emerging technologies such as Blockchain, AI & Machine Learning, Software Defined Networking (SDN) & Network Function Virtualization (NFV) etc in enhancing the security for IoT networks. A secondary focus is on existing security techniques that are suitable for adoption in the IoT environments.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers for sharing their theoretical and practical experiences in emerging and suitable contemporary technologies that enhance the security for the IoT networks.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

1. Emerging blockchain solutions for securing IoT devices
2. Application of machine learning and A.I. for IoT security
3. Improving IoT security using SDN/NFV
4. Privacy preserving techniques for IoT
5. Lightweight cyberdefence for IoT
6. Dependable and verifiable IoT Systems
7. Identification of threats and vulnerabilities in IoT systems
8. IoT forensics

Securing the next Industrial Revolution

With more connected devices than people on this planet, businesses shift in their operations and create new revenue streams that utilise this unprecedented level of global connectivity. Traditional industries are future proofing themselves and look at innovative, highly agile manufacturing approaches that are the backbone of our factories of the future and underpin the success of Industry 4.0. In this talk I will revisit the opportunities this next Industrial Revolution can bring, caution to separate the hype from the real innovations, and in particular consider the cyber security threats that we must navigate to ensure a resilient ecosystem that benefits us all.
