Paula: I’m here with Bruce Schneier. The most prominent person in security. Thank you so much for being with me. I have a couple of questions.
Where to expect hacks?
You have delivered a presentation about IoT (Internet of things). IoT hacks it’a not a very surprising thing for IT security professionals like hotels and different devices but everybody’s wondering: what’s coming next?…
Bruce Schneier on New Security Threats from the Internet of Things
Security expert Bruce Schneier says we’re creating an Internet that senses, thinks, and acts, which is is the classic definition of a robot. “I contend that we’re building a world-sized robot without even realizing it,” he said recently at the Open Source Leadership Summit (OSLS).
In his talk, Schneier explained this idea of a world-sized robot, created out of the Internet, that has no single consciousness, no single goal, and no single creator. You can think of it, he says, as an Internet that affects the world in a direct physical manner. This means Internet security becomes everything security…

WikiLeaks may have exposed the CIA’s ability to hack into phones, televisions, cars—pretty much everything, but according to internationally renowned security technologist and author Bruce Schneier, it isn’t the intelligence agencies you should be worried about. He’s more concerned that these technologies have been around for decades. Bruce is sharing three things to be concerned about with Kristina Guerrero.
1. Privacy Priorities
Privacy is not about something to hide. Privacy is about being an autonomous person. It’s a fundamental human right and a fundamental human need. When we don’t have privacy, we feel unsafe. When we’re watched, we feel like prey. So privacy is important for society to flourish…
Cybersecurity Expert on Latest Wikileaks: Nothing to See Here
Does latest data dump mean people should throw out their smartphones?
Metro spoke to cybersecurity expert Bruce Schneier about the latest revelations from Wikileaks about U.S. government spying and what they mean to regular people. The leaked documents, which appear to be from the Central Intelligence Agency, describes software tools that the agency uses to hack into cellphones, computers and internet-connected televisions.
Metro: Do these revelations from Wikileaks surprise you at all?
Schneier: Not in the least. What’s the news here? Computers are hackable, this isn’t news. It doesn’t change a thing.

Bruce Schneier Says Government Involvement in Coding Is Coming
Security expert Schneier is realistic about the dangers posed by putting software in all types of appliances
Schneier, present at the RSA Conference, said that until now everyone had this “special right” to code the world as they saw fit. “My guess is we’re going to lose that right because it’s too dangerous to give it to a bunch of techies,” he added, according to The Register.
His words came after accepting an observation made by Marc Andreessen six years ago that software was eating the world. “As everything turns into a computer, computer security becomes everything security,” Schneier said, to give his previous statement some context.
A connected world is great but dangerous…
Schneier Brings Campaign for IoT Regulation to RSA
Bruce Schneier on Tuesday called on technologists to get involved with policy, insisting that as the Internet of things continues to unfold, the knowledge security experts have will become more applicable.
Schneier, CTO of IBM Resilient, stressed in a talk here at the RSA Conference that the need has become more pressing in the wake of Mirai; the threats associated with IoT insecurity are more palpable than ever.
“It’s one thing for Reddit to be DDoSed, its another thing for your home thermostat to be DDoSed in the winter,” Schneier said.
Schneier posted a list of guidelines that have been written for securing the internet of things …
Bruce Schneier: The US Government Is Coming for YOUR Code, Techies
Open source has won, but victory may be fleeting
The Open Source Leadership Summit began on Tuesday amid roads closed by a landslide: held in The Resort at Squaw Creek near Lake Tahoe, California, it was not easily accessible to attendees traveling Highway 80 from the San Francisco Bay Area.
During his opening keynote, Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, made light of the mudslides that brought traffic to a crawl near Donner Pass on Monday evening. The trip at least was less arduous than it was last year, he said.
Zemlin’s remarks amounted to an open-source victory lap. Some 99.4 per cent of the world’s high performance computing systems, 90 per cent of the world’s stock exchanges, and 64 per cent of mobile devices run on Linux, he said, adding that the foundation’s projects have created $14.5 billion worth of value, as measured in cost per line of code…
Book Review: Data and Goliath by Bruce Schneier
How many times have you heard the “Nothing to Hide” argument? If you don’t have anything to hide, then you don’t need to worry about anyone watching you or collecting information about your thoughts and behaviors. Consider the impact to those that have nothing to hide. Depending on who is watching, people will curtail open discussion on many topics which stifle new thinking, innovation and even market disruption. Furthermore, it becomes easier to categorize and, therefore, discriminate against individuals. Privacy in our communications is much more important than most people think. And, a lack of information transparency in collection and use of data keeps this issue off the radar for most everyday people…
IoT Security: “The Market has Failed”
According to the IT security expert Bruce Schneier, the consequences of unrestricted connectivity in the Internet of Things could be devastating. In the interview, he calls for greater security for the Internet of Things (IoT).
“The era of fun and games is over,” said Bruce Schneier at the Telekom Security Congress in Frankfurt in November 2016. The American expert for IoT security and cryptography is Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of IBM Resilient. In his bestseller “Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World”, the security researcher describes how states and Internet firms spy on us. In the interview, the 53-year-old talks about the huge importance of security for and through the Internet of Things, about a failing market and about the need for state regulation…
