[iot-discussion] European Commission Report: Workshop on Security & Privacy in IoT
by Bastiaan Goslings 01 May '17

01 May '17

On 13 January the European Commission organised and hosted a workshop in Brussels, the main purpose of which was ‘to discuss minimum baseline security and privacy requirements along the entire networked architecture and value chain similar in various sectors.’ It took them a while for them to publish a report, but it’s an interesting read for this group nonetheless, I imagine. ‘Participants were asked to come with, reflect and comment on concrete minimum IoT privacy and security principles to create a trusted IoT environment’ The results of the workshop can be found at https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/internet-things-privacy-… (Was anyone on the list there btw?) As the EU is part of the RIPE NCC service region, I think it is important to follow closely what the EC is up to and it probably makes sense to engage with them on this topic if we’re not already doing so.

"The PICASSO project is organizing a participatory webinar on “Cybersecurity and its impact on EU-US ICT collaboration”. The aim of this webinar is to discuss and refine policy recommendations designed to improve EU-US ICT-oriented collaborations – specifically in three technological domains: 5G networks; Big Data; and the Internet of Things/Cyber-physical systems (IoT/CPS). Focus is set on the implications of technological developments for cybersecurity policy, taking into account the different approaches towards cybersecurity being taken in the USA and in Europe, the technical and socio-economic backgrounds and new developments likely to affect the security and vulnerability of ICT systems. The participatory and interactive webinar will validate initial conclusions based on a policy briefing on Cybersecurity and its impact on EU/US ICT Policy collaborationprepared by the PICASSO ICT Policy Expert Group.” See: http://www.picasso-project.eu/newsevents/project-events/webinar-cybersecuri…

[iot-discussion] What role does the SP play in protecting consumers re IoT?
by Eliot Lear 21 Apr '17

Hi everyone, Marco and I have been talking. There is a discussion forming about the role of the consumer and the role of the manufacturer around protecting against invasions of privacy, and other security faux pas. What about the role of the service provider? Can the service provider take a more direct part in assisting the consumer in protecting themselves, and if so, what help is needed from manufacturers, CPE vendors, and yes, companies like mine (Cisco)? What role does/should the government play? These are some pretty hefty questions. My question to you: is there interest in such a dialog? Eliot
