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 to meet the IoT security requirements of today and tomorrow

whitePaper | July 4, 2023

Governments around the world are creating Internet of Things (IoT) security legislation and regulations designed to keep users safe in an increasingly connected world. Connectivity is good and, in fact, great but bad things can happen to people with unprotected or poorly protected IoT devices. Failing to meet government regulations or guidelines may lead to the inability to sell products in a region and thus to lost revenue. However, the regulations are constantly in a state of flux. This white paper provides updated background on what governments are suggesting or requiring as well as specific details on how to implement security defenses and obtain security certifications that can satisfy current and even future government requirements

Internet of Things for Telecom Engineers

whitePaper | February 11, 2020

The Internet of Things (IoT) is no longer the future: it is the new reality moving telecommunications forward. The IoT enables physical objects to see, hear, think, and perform jobs by having them “talk” to each other, share information, and coordinate decisions. The number of internet-enabled objects has surpassed the Earth’s population. Today, the IoT connects everything from HVAC thermostats and smart homes to transportation, healthcare, industrial automation, and emergency response equipment. As the prevalence of IoT innovations grow, telecom leaders must embrace the opportunities, and challenges, posed by a more connected future.
