Governing Cybersecurity Risks and Benefits of the Internet of Things: Connected Medical and Health Devices and Connected Vehicles

IRGC organised in 2016 an expert workshop on 'Governing Cybersecurity Risks and Benefits in the Internet of Things (IoT), applied to connected vehicles and medical devices. In those sectors, connectivity improves both safety and vulnerability, but cybersecurity failures can be life-critical or -threatening. Participants in the workshop acknowledged that dependence on network connected technologies has grown faster than the means to secure it, but that the balancing of risk and benefit is very complex.
