Hey everyone!
I simply finished listening to the discussion on the Internet of Things (IoT) providing Beau Woods from the Atlantic Council, and I have to say it was eye-opening. The way Beau talked about the intersection of cybersecurity and the human condition actually got me thinking.
The concept of IoT is undeniably fascinating, with all these interconnected gadgets and smart homes. But it also raises some issues about security and safety. Beau's focus on cyber security and his collaboration with initiatives like I am the Cavalry shows his dedication to ensuring the trustworthiness of these technologies. Here's a recent article on IoT that I found quite fascinating: https://iotbusinessnews.com/2023/07/06/04040-the-synergy-of-iot-and-ai-revolutionizing-the-future-of-business/
I determined it particularly interesting that he co-authored an Issue Brief on clever homes and IoT. It's definitely something I'll be checking out on the Atlantic Council's website. It's great to see someone with knowledge and passion like Beau contributing to the conversation.
