Many urban cities today, including Singapore, are forging ahead in providing a better living for its citizens by getting their cities to become smarter through the implementation of technology. Technologies such as cloud, IoT, data analytics and AI provide the foundational building blocks for enabling the smartness in our cities. While we are increasingly relying on the advances of the technologies to provide us the benefits of smarter living, the need to ensure Safety, Security, Privacy and Ethics is fast becoming the nemesis that we must face. Cybersecurity leads in this area and there are much challenges that we need to uncover, learn and address to move forward in this new journey of smarter living. Cyber threats are becoming increasingly intrusive as we embrace new technologies both in the workplace and our homes – a necessary evil that we must face.
In this seminar, expert speakers will share the current and future of the applications of Cloud, IoT and Platform technologies in enabling smart cities. The presenters will further provide insights to address Cybersecurity challenges in each of the technologies through Safety, Security, Privacy and Ethics considerations to protect the citizens within. At the end of the seminar, participants will become smarter about adopting the best of technologies while remaining vigilant against the threats that they come with.
Those interested in cybersecurity, internet of things and smart platforms.

IoT – Breaking Bad
Internet of Things (or embedded devices) pose unique challenges for those responsible for managing and assessing their security.The devices tend to be less transparent and more tightly integrated than typical software and generally lack the host-based security controls (privilege separation, host firewalls, etc.) found on client or server applications. This talk will briefly address some of the privacy and ethical concerns with focus on the insecurity of things. Additionally, this talk will cover some of the unique constraints for threat modelling and assessing these devices, then walk through a case study of an assessment of a device and discuss the issues found there, including potential mitigations that can be applied.

Fixing the Last Missing Piece in Securing IoT
There is no lack of security principle in securing anything, be it cloud, application, systems or things. Most reported Internet of Things (IoT) security problems were related to products not incorporating security features. However to be fair, especially the very small things, even if the developers aspired to build the most secured things, there will still be a missing piece. The speaker will share the key security requirements of the IoT & cloud ecosystem; and also what the industries are doing to fix (or waiting for) that last missing piece.

MAD – Injecting the Human into the Equation?
The advent of some recent technologies presents an unprecedented dilemma: do we decide the technological outcomes or does the technology decide the actions for us? In this talk, I explore broad segments of technology, including artificial intelligence, smart contracts, intelligent IoT, and others to identify the underlying ethical issues. These issues extend into safety, security, privacy, legal, and other dimensions; many are inter-related.
