Advanced Security Research in the Era of the Internet of Things

Abstract

As the evolution of technology accelerates toward the "Everything Connected" model, the demands placed on cyber security will be the principle concern of users when considering adoption. In this new era the logical point of protection will be the communications infrastructure that forms the connected web. As such, Cisco Systems is funding research and driving innovation in network based cyber security. The initial thrust of this effort is focused on cryptography, data analytics and privacy, platform protection and threat awareness. This discussion will focus on what Cisco is presently doing in Advanced Security Research. The current global engagements, future needs and likely methodologies.
