The Four Horsemen of the IoT Trough
Security Economics
Reliability Expectations
Security
There is no codified
security model for IoT
The Four Horsemen of the IoT Trough
Security Cams Hacked
Thief Steals Car with Smartphone
HVAC Hack leads to 100m
Stolen Credit Cards
Greater price pressure & lower margins
Time to Market matters much more
Risk of consumer backlash if products fail expectations
More disparate & unpredictable networking environments
Less controlled rollouts and provisioning
New infrastructure designs necessary for 2-way communication
New Complexities, More Challenges

History Lesson: Evolution of Dynamic Web
Technology platforms offer early advantages
but…
true platform vendors focus on delivering business value,
not delivering proprietary infrastructure.
