IEEE advances security expertise at RSA
Conference 20-24 April 2015
IEEE, the world's largest professional organization advancing
technology for humanity, announced today its participation at RSA
Conference 2015, 20-24 April, Moscone Center, San Francisco. IEEE
will drive industry discussion and facilitate the sharing of
security expertise during sessions and events at this important
conference addressing IT and Internet Security.
"The exponential growth and expansion of the Internet of Things,
the advent of “smart everything,” and the intersection of open
source and open standards are creating new and exciting
opportunities fueled by the cross-pollination of applications and
services that previously existed in their own confines,” said Oleg
Logvinov, chair, IEEE Internet Initiative and IEEE P2413TM working
group; director, special assignments, Industrial and Power
Conversion Division, STMicroelectronics. “At the same time, it
is important to address vulnerabilities that could be created in
the process. IEEE will be contributing to meaningful dialog at RSA
on the future of API regulation and development, human/technology
relationships, IoT security, and more. By convening global experts,
IEEE will help lead important discussions, drive collaboration, and
contribute to technologies and practices that will better serve
humanity."
IEEE’s outreach at RSA is a natural extension of its open,
global, collaborative work in cybersecurity in several areas:
- The IEEE Internet Initiative, launched
in 2015 dedicates efforts to amplifying the voice of the technical
community in the global technology policy-making process to inform
and influence debate and decisions and to help ensure trustworthy
technology solutions and best practices.
- The IEEE Cybersecurity
Initiative, which established the IEEE Center for
Secure Design to shift industry focus from finding
bugs to identifying common design flaws.
- The IEEE-SA Industry Connections
Security Group, which pools experience and resources to combat
the systematic and rapid rise in threats to computer security.
RSA participants can connect with IEEE and its partners at a
series of sessions, peer-to-peer events, discussions, and social
gatherings, including:
