The Internet of Things connects numerous everyday devices, opening up previously closed systems to remote access and control

Smart, connected devices are now an integral part of our lives, in business and at home

Smart homes and offices enabled with a host of connected and

smart devices

Connected cars, autonomous trucks,

unmanned aerial vehicles, etc

Industrial control systems w/ cyber-physical

platforms managing critical infrastructure

Smart Cities with sensors and digital mgmt. systems

for energy, utilities, transportation, etc

The IoT market is expected to grow to an install base of 30.7 billion devices by 2020 and 75.4 billion by 2025

However, the rapidly growing world of

perpetually-connected smart devices presents

proportionally large security risks

In 2016, botnet armies DDoS attack of DNS infrastructure sent major internet platforms and services offline

Since 2016, researchers have shown how attackers could hijack a vehicle. In 2017, US Homeland Security cyber sleuths hacked a Boeing 757 as it sat on the runway

In 2017, criminals hacked a connected fish tank and stole data from a casino

In late 2016, ‘Crash Override’ malware took down the power grid in Kiev, Ukraine for over an hour before Christmas

Existing security solutions are unable to keep pace, scale up and address the security challenges facing the emerging IoT world
