Device Authority Virtual Summit: Creating Sustainability in Your Supply Chain

The opening session for the Device Authority Virtual Summit hosted by Device Authority with notable speakers throughout the 3 days.

This talk will cover the drives and use cases for smart city deployments and IoT vs. IIoT, discussing the development and pilot trends and challenges for security, and touching on cloud security and zero trust strategies.

This talk will explore the significant role of AI in shaping the intricate interplay between device and data trust, shedding light on the transformative potential and challenges it presents in fostering trust and security in the digital era.

This webinar offers Microsoft's perspective on the ever evolving nature of automotive cybersecurity and the measures taken to ensure safer and more secure driving experiences in an increasingly connected world.

The Automotive cybersecurity ecosystem has evolved and matured as vehicles, factories, and infrastructure have become progressively connected. This discussion will cover the central role of Automotive, driving the progression of IoT security along the supply chain of the past, present, and future.

What is Zero Trust? In this session Tyler Gannon will explore the relationship between Zero Trust, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and the unique requirements for achieving this approach in IoT/OT environments, including how Device Authority leverages its rich partner ecosystem to deliver the 9 Core Capabilities essential for Zero Trust in IoT.

Higher Education and Academic Research serve as a reflection of and signal for impact on the business world and supply chains globally. In this session, Rob Curtin Director of Higher Education at Microsoft will explore the current thinking in academia on the state of AI, and more specifically Generative AI found in tools like Chap GPT with a focus on adoption, concerns, and plans for responsible use, and what organizations in the broader technology industry should be considering when planning their use of this exciting innovation.

In this session Khalil Yazdi, Chief Strategy Officer at Crossroads Innovation Group, and David Ihrie, CTO for the Virginia Innovation Partnership Corp’s Smart Community Testbed will explore current challenges in securing critical infrastructure and how public-private partnerships are pioneering new efforts to combine current technologies into real-world solutions to achieve Zero Trust for today’s connected environments.

Learn how leading manufacturing companies are applying advanced technologies to drive performance improvements, deliver enhanced experiences, and unlock new sources of value in their operations.

Join us for an enlightening talk as we delve further into IoT security and explore innovative approaches to enhance its resilience. In this presentation, we will focus on two critical aspects: Post-Quantum (PQ) cryptography and crypto agility, and their impact on the future of IoT connectivity.

This webinar highlights the crucial significance of IoT security and automation in establishing a sustainable supply chain. Join us to explore the transformative potential of IoT security and automation in building a sustainable and resilient supply chain ecosystem.

In this session, Alastair Williamson, CEO at Wyld, will explore the powerful impact of satellite-based IoT on global food security.

In this session Ben and Julio will discuss the latest updates to the KSaaS platform and the move to the "As A Service" security model.

In an increasingly interconnected world, the security of connected devices is paramount. This talk delves into the critical importance of building resilient security measures into connected devices and the overall need for operational resilience.

Join us as Robert Dobson shares his insights on the challenges and strategies involved in designing and implementing robust security solutions.

Effective management of the existing threat landscape mandates ensuring the sustainability of the software supply chain. Within this framework, sustainability refers to the continuous management of the software lifecycle, where security is maintained through ongoing processes to evaluate the origin, quality, and risk of software. At its core, this approach begins with a solid understanding of the software's origins, how it is integrated into products and solutions, and how it will be maintained and supported.

Elements Include:

Risk Assessment
Policy Definition
Third-party software management
Continuous Monitoring
Incident Response
Vendor Collaboration
