The Security Implications of the Internet of ThingsProvided By: AFCEA
Mar 2015The Internet of Things (IoT) comprises creative products that connect healthcare, home energy consumption, mass transit, insurance, and almost every economic sector. With these new devices, we have infinitely more opportunities, yet little consideration is being paid to the cyber security of this phenomenon. Once consumers introduce the IoT into their lives, machine-to-machine interactions begin on their behalf. Assumptions about privacy and protections need to be considered now, before the massive rollout. The implications of the IoT are significant, and nothing short ...
Cybersecurity
Provided By: AFCEA Jan 2015
Cybersecurity is becoming the defining element of information system success. Where capabilities and services once ruled, safety now is looming as the most important aspect of a network or information storage system. Since its origins as an afterthought, cybersecurity has moved up the ladder to hold
veto power over the use of a new capability.

The Future of Internet Governance - AFCEA Cyber Committee
Provided By: AFCEA Jan 2014
The central theme of our research was and remains the issue of the existing and future evolution of the much-debated current Internet governance model. The current construct is often described as the ICANN model after the organization that has its roots in the earliest history of the Internet and has indeed evolved to represent global needs. It is easy to find alternative models, along with advocates for each. We present some of them and offer pros/cons for each.
