IoT For All Podcast · 30 Nov 2020 · 27m

What this episode covers

Boaz Shedletsky, co-founder and Chief Business Officer of Sternum, discusses the critical need for on-device cybersecurity in the IoT space, particularly for medical devices and industrial systems. He explains that Sternum’s approach focuses on preventing exploitation at the device level rather than just patching vulnerabilities, offering visibility through their Advanced Detection System (ADS). Shedletsky highlights market challenges such as the 'not invented here' mentality among manufacturers and the tendency to delay security implementation until after deployment.

    #017 - How *not* to think about IoT, with Michael Vladimer of Orange IoT Studio, USA

    Michael Vladimer, co-founder of Orange IoT Studio, outlines a framework for building successful IoT products, arguing that they must solve compelling problems rather than just connecting everything. He defines the core MVP of an IoT device as consisting of sensors, connectivity, computation, and user interface, while warning against expecting users to invest smartphone-level effort into these devices. Vladimer also discusses the nuances of IoT security, advocating for context-specific standards based on data sensitivity, and shares insights on cross-cultural communication and storytelling in product development.

    IoT Security is only as good as its weakest link

    Nitin Dahad hosts an episode on IoT security featuring John Moore of the IoT Security Foundation, who emphasizes that security is a process requiring resilience and vulnerability disclosure policies rather than a static certification. Sharon Hagi, Chief Security Officer at Silicon Labs, explains the 'silicon to cloud' ecosystem approach, arguing that security is only as strong as its weakest link across the entire device, network, and cloud stack. Emmanuel Sambuy of Silicon Labs details specific security implementations for medical devices, including the Series 2 Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) portfolio, Secure Vault technology, and compliance with Diabetes Technology Society (DTSec) standards.
