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
– Jennifer Minella, VP of Engineering and Security, Carolina Advanced Digital

Carolina Advanced Digital is involved with the SoT planning committee and will be attending the event.

In today’s technology-dependent world, the importance of Cyber Security continues to come to the forefront. Cyber attacks are a threat at all levels, from individuals, to government agencies, to businesses of all sizes and industries. At NC TECH’s 2019 State of Technology Conference, we will explore Cyber Security and how it impacts all facets of our lives, and look to future trends and how we can prepare ourselves.

More than 600 security, IT and business leaders from across sectors and functional roles will gather May 10 at our flagship tech conference for a day of engaging keynotes, interactive panel discussions, a fast paced pitch competition from tech startups and an exhibit showcase. A pre-conference reception will be held the evening prior, on May 9.
