Internet of Things devices are built with cost & convenience in mind, not security. This makes them easy targets for cybercriminals looking to exploit their vulnerabilities and infiltrate your systems. With IoT adoption on the rise, organizations are looking for ways to improve security at all levels and limit the damage IoT-powered cyber attacks can cause. The stakes are even higher for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

Join this interactive Q&A panel with top security experts across the ecosystem to learn more about:
– IoT as a gateway to your systems
– Key factors for building a successful security strategy encompassing the IoT & IIoT
– Threats targeting the IoT / IIoT
– Industrial threat detection and response
– Recommendations for improving security

Speakers:
– Mark Weatherford, Chief Cybersecurity Strategist, vArmour
– Robert M. Lee, CEO, Dragos
