Anna Maria Mandalari for co-chair
Dear all,
Many of you have seen my presentations
or engaged with me over the years within the RIPE community and beyond,
discussing IoT privacy, security, and measurement challenges. I would like
to formally express my interest in serving as Co-Chair of the IoT Working
Group.
I am currently Assistant Professor in
Communications & Networking at University College London (UCL), where
I also serve as Director of the MSc in Internet Engineering and Telecommunications.
I am an Honorary Research Fellow at Imperial College London and Visiting
Professor at Yokohama National University. My research spans privacy, security,
Internet measurement for IoT ecosystems, and I am also a member of the
Executive Steering Board of the IoT Security Foundation.
Over the last decade, my work has focused
on the intersection of IoT, privacy, and cybersecurity. I have developed
tools like COPSEC, IoTrim, and ReplIoT to address privacy and security
challenges in IoT environments, aligning closely with regulatory initiatives
such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). I have collaborated with industry
and regulators across the UK, EU, and Japan, leading projects on IoT security
certification, adaptive privacy-preserving mechanisms, and privacy and
security risk assessment.
I have been an active member of the RIPE
IoT Working Group, contributing with presentations, participation in
discussions, and engaging with the community to bridge the gap between
academic research, operational practice, and standardization efforts.
Added Value as Co-Chair
I believe I bring a unique profile that
combines:
- Deep academic expertise in IoT privacy,
security, and Internet measurements;
- Operational and testing insights through
tool development and collaboration with industry partners;
- Strong connections within cybersecurity
and IoT standardization communities (IoTSF, IETF BMWG);
- Experience with public engagement, creating
awareness of IoT risks and best practices.
Vision
as Co-Chair
As Co-Chair, I would like to:
- Strengthen the dialogue between academia,
industry, and policy makers within the WG;
- Support initiatives around IoT security
benchmarking, testing methodologies, and best practices dissemination;
- Foster new contributions from diverse
backgrounds and geographical areas;
- Ensure continuity with the WG’s past
work while driving new efforts aligned with emerging regulations and industry
needs.
I would be honored to contribute
my expertise and energy to help the IoT WG continue its valuable mission.
I look forward to the opportunity to
support and serve the community.
Best regards,
Anna
