## Summary

Greg Young, Vice President of Cybersecurity at Trend Micro, discusses the evolving security landscape for IoT, highlighting the shift from trusting components to trusting how they are used. He identifies wireless components, bespoke protocols, and unpatched legacy systems as primary vulnerabilities, noting that healthcare and connected cars are currently high-value targets for attackers. Young explains that the drive for low-cost components often results in a lack of internal development teams and security patches, forcing OEMs to rely on network-level shielding and bug bounty programs to mitigate risks.
