Internet of Things realising the potential of a trusted smart world

March 1, 2018

Internet of Things (IoT) technology is finding application in many areas of industry and society, offering new services and promising increased time and resource efficiencies, and greater social wellbeing. However, much has been learned in the three years since the IoT Blackett review, with new challenges that cross social and technical areas, and that are interdependent in nature. The PETRAS Cybersecurity of the Internet of Things Research Hub recognises that IoT comprises complex socio-technical systems and explores critical issues in privacy, ethics, trust, reliability, acceptability, and security. It brings together international research leaders from nine universities across the UK and works with crosssectoral industry, government and NGO partners to identify barriers to IoT adoption, opportunities for IoT advancement, and the ability to develop best practice demonstrators. As chair of the PETRAS Steering Board I have championed the use of the Hub’s outputs to facilitate further adoption of IoT, unlocking potential economic value for the widest possible array of stakeholders and user groups. As a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering I am committed to promoting excellence in engineering for the benefit of society and enhancing UK prosperity as an impartial adviser to government. The goals of both the research hub and the Academy are well demonstrated in the production of this report.

How Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Can Help Your Business Survive the Pandemic—And Prevail in the Future

whitePaper | August 23, 2022

Growing demand for remote working solutions in light of the pandemic is bolstering the case for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) adoption. In this white paper, we discuss why VDI is best suited for today’s business environments, especially since remote work is poised to play a big role both now and in the “new normal” of a post-COVID-19 world. We discuss VDI’s main advantages, its shortcomings and what can be done to address them.

Empowering DSOs to secure the Smart Grid

whitePaper | February 6, 2020

As the world’s growing need for energy meets the power of the Internet of Things, the traditional energy marketplace is rapidly transforming. Millions of meters and energy assets are connected and digitized each year, providing enormous benefits to the entire ecosystem: real time tracking of energy production and consumption data, optimized load balancing systems, streamlined operations and billing systems to name a few. As connectivity expands and the landscape is digitalizing, new distributed energy resources (DERs) and stakeholders are able to integrate into and expand the grid. DERs offer non-carbon resources that improve the energy sector’s overall carbon footprint, a key benefit for everyone.

Zero Trust Maturity Model

whitePaper | June 13, 2023

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) leads the nation’s effort to understand, manage, and reduce cybersecurity risk, including by supporting Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies in evolving and operationalizing cybersecurity programs and capabilities. CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM) provides an approach to achieve continued modernization efforts related to zero trust within a rapidly evolving environment and technology landscape. This ZTMM is one of many paths that an organization can take in designing and implementing their transition plan to zero trust architectures in accordance with Executive Order (EO) 14028 “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity” § (3)(b)(ii),1 which requires that agencies develop a plan to implement a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). While the ZTMM is specifically tailored for federal agencies as required by EO 14028, all organizations should review and consider adoption of the approaches outlined in this document.
