Schneier on Security

The lack of relevant technical expertise by governments is going to hurt when it comes to securing the internet of things (IoT), according to security technologist Bruce Schneier.

Governments have a crucial role to play in tackling what he sees as the next big security challenge, he told Infosecurity Europe 2016 in London.

One of the biggest challenges, according to Schneier, is that there is no good regulatory structure for IoT which connects finance, health, energy and transport information.

“We don’t know how to do this, so we are going to need government solutions that are holistic that will deal with IoT devices no matter what they are doing,” he said…
