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.
