Government Regulation Will Clip Coders' Wings, Says Bruce Schneier
Systems "too critical to allow programmers to do as they want"
Government regulation of the Internet of Things will become inevitable as connected kit in arenas as varied as healthcare and power distribution becomes more commonplace, according to security guru Bruce Schneier.
“Governments are going to get involved regardless because the risks are too great. When people start dying and property starts getting destroyed, governments are going to have to do something,” Schneier said during a keynote speech at the Infosecurity Europe trade show in London.
The choice is between smart (well-informed) or stupid government regulations with the possibility of non-interference getting taken off the table…
#Infosec16: Securing the IoT is the Next Big Challenge, Says Bruce Schneier
“The Internet of Things (IoT) is our next big security challenge and I think it’s the way we are going to be colliding with the real world in interesting ways.”
Speaking at Infosecurity Europe 2016 Bruce Schneier said that securing the IoT is a lot about what we already know, and some of what we don’t know.
“It’s one big inter-connected system of systems with threats, attackers, effects; the IoT is everything we’ve seen now, just turned up to 11 and in a way we can’t turn it off.”
As the IoT becomes more connected it also becomes more physical, invading our lives on an unprecedented scale with more real-world consequences when a breach occurs, and it’s something that we can’t afford to fail to secure, Schneier explained…
InfoSec 2016: Two Worlds Are Colliding, and I Don’t Have the Answer, Says Bruce Schneier
Schneier also sees more government meddling in IoT security as ‘inevitable’
Two drastically different paradigms are colliding together when it comes to the Internet of Things, and it doesn’t bode well for our security, claims security specialist Bruce Schneier.
Schneier explained how IoT-connected devices such as medical devices, which are almost impossible to keep up to date with the latest security defenses, will go at odds against attackers who are continually improving their attack methods, with “catastrophic” consequences.
“As we move to the Internet of Things, where things are less patchable and less high-end, we’re going to have problems,” said Schneier, addressing a keynote audience at …
Bruce Schneier: Governments Have a 'Stark' Lack of Expertise in IoT Security
But government involvement in IoT policies is inevitable, says security expert
Governments lack the expertise to define security policy when it comes to the rapidly growing Internet of Things (IoT), according to Bruce Schneier, security technologist and a member of the Infosecurity Europe Hall of Fame.
Schneier explained that that governments approach topics such as the IoT and cyber security without the technical knowledge to understand the challenges.
“It’s surprising how stark the lack of expertise in tech is in these debates,” he said at Infosecurity Europe in London.
“Expertise in large correlation data bases, algorithmic decision making, IoT, cloud storage and computing, robotics, autonomous agents; these are all things that the government is going to run headlong into and needs to make decisions about…
Video: Internet of Things Security: Ask Bruce, Episode Nine
The Internet of Things (IoT) is ushering in a new age of hyperconnectivity – and new cyber security challenges.
In this video, Resilient CTO Bruce Schneier explains how the Internet of Things raises the stakes in cyber security, and explores how organizations will need to battle these new challenges.
Video: Bruce Schneier: Building Cryptographic Systems
Security expert Bruce Schneier discusses security from the perspectives of both the National Security Agency and the National Institution of Standards and Technology.
Since the 1930s at Bletchley Park, there has been a continuous arms race to both improve and break cryptography. The files leaked by National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden made it clear that governments regularly gather data on average citizens, which makes us wonder if privacy is even possible. Do our carefully designed cryptographic systems protect our information as we expect them to, or are they just thin veils that can easily be pierced by the government? I posed these questions to leading security expert Bruce Schneier…
Video: Bruce Schneier on the Integration of Privacy and Security
Threatpost Editor in Chief Mike Mimoso talks to crypto pioneer and security expert Bruce Schneier of Resilient Systems about the early days of the RSA Conference, the integration of privacy and security, and the current FBI-Apple debate over encryption and surveillance.
Rise of the Machines: The Threat Posed by Growing Connectivity
An IT security expert has some dire warnings about our brave new world
Either we start to disconnect our increasingly networked world or we risk daunting social, safety, security and privacy consequences, a leading computer security expert and author has warned.
In an expansive talk directly challenging widely held assumptions about the benefits of computing, networks and the internet, Bruce Schneier told a large audience at this year’s RSA Security Conference in San Francisco that we were moving towards a networked world so complex that we would be unable to safely manage it or adequately grapple with inevitable disasters…
Video: Reacting Fast is Not Enough (RSA 2016)
“Companies go to the cloud not because the security person tells them to. They go to the cloud because the business person tells them to. Because the economics of doing it is so compelling and the security person has to manage,” said Bruce Schneier (@schneierblog), CTO, Resilient Systems, in our conversation at the RSA 2016 Conference in San Francisco.
Computing is embedded in everything we do, such as cars and planes, said Schneier. It’s not just business operations. It’s affecting the real world.
“Reacting fast is not enough. The real world is getting it right the first time,” warned Schneier. “I’m not sure how we’re going to do it because on the one hand there are going to be all these requirements by the physical world on the other hand there’s going to be our IT way’ of doing things.”…
