Solutions-minded tech ecosystem players should pay attention to this piece of information! Can you answer this question: “Cybersecurity on the Edge?”
As the capabilities and opportunities of online technologies evolve, how can policy develop to ensure robust levels of security are maintained? With increasingly complex interdependencies within networks, and the challenges presented by edge devices and IoT in general, is ‘security by design’ possible? Can policy move quickly enough to prevent misuse of the data flowing across networks?
