Privacy & Security in the Land of Advanced Hacking

Abstract

The cybersecurity landscape is rapidly evolving and the ecosystems are continuously innovating to advance security and privacy for devices of all types. What do we need our systems to provide so that we can support these demands? Who are our antagonists? Is secure software development process enough?

In this presentation, I will present:

Privacy & security in connected devices.
