Applied IoT Security

Chairperson’s welcome and opening remarks.

• Understanding the IoT cybersecurity landscape.
• Key challenges to secure IoT devices.
• Models for mitigating IoT cybersecurity challenges.

• Keeping security at the forefront when developing and deploying IoT innovations and digital solutions.  
• Governance, regulation and standards – the need for consistency across industries for what is required/ expected from a cyber perspective.  
• Finding the best connectivity to optimise solutions and infrastructures – not a one size fits all approach.  
• Strategies for the future – keeping control of systems and devices long term by discussing product lifecycles.  

Enterprise continuity is essential to any organization, including Netflix, as it ensures that the business can continue operating despite unexpected disruptions, such as natural disasters, cyber-attacks, or other incidents that could impact the organization’s ability to provide services to its customers.

Taking Netflix’s unique culture into account, we have developed an adaptive model and methodology for the Enterprise Continuity (EC) program to identify where our critical assets are, determine how resilient they need to be, measure how resilient they currently are, and provide guidance on how to increase their resilience when and if needed.

This methodology includes the following:

• Educating leadership and asset owners on their resilience and continuity posture
• Developing a dependencies map to identify areas of unseen risk as it relates to continuity
• Providing guidance and mitigation expertise to asset owners who require it.
• Identifying best practices across teams by sharing context gathered from continuity assessments

• How does the sheer diversity of IoT devices provide challenges to security teams? 
• Understanding the risks associated with the management of IoT devices by disparate teams within the organization.  
• Which IoT devices have the highest share of security issues and what makes them so susceptible to these issues?  

• The cyber risks associated with securing smart medical devices.  
• What operational insights should healthcare providers understand when implementing IoT security?  
• Examining different medical device security solutions.
