The session consists of a panel that focuses on three elements: (1) current priorities; (2) emerging priorities; (3) global alignment (as it concerns global technologies, developed around the globe, deployed around the globe, and with data/access across borders and jurisdictions)
Key focus areas include:
- Current priorities:
- Implementing zero trust architecture, robust encryption (e.g. TLS 1.3, DNSSEC, RPKI), and secure-by-design principles, striking a balance between benefits and pitfalls of security increased by encryption.
- Leveraging AI for real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance—while ensuring ethical use and transparency.
- Addressing the expanding role of data governance, balancing privacy with functionality, especially as AI aggregates personal data from diverse
IoT
sources. - Ensuring robustness and resilience towards connectivity failures
- Encouraging interoperability and secure lifecycle management through adherence to global standards.
Emerging priorities:
- Preparing for quantum computing’s impact on encryption by supporting adoption of post-quantum cryptography now—even before commercial quantum systems arrive.
- Scaling AI safety and accountability frameworks to manage risks posed by general-purpose AI models in critical
IoT
environments. - Strengthening resilience by embedding redundancy, OTA updates, and DDoS mitigation, and ensuring disaster response readiness.
- Increasing dependence on smart healthcare devices, AI-driven education tools, etc., reaping the benefits while tackling potential risks
