2024 INTERSCT.Conference on Cyber Security of Internet-of-Things

On Tuesday, May 28, TU/e will host the 2024 edition of the INTERSCT. Conference on Cyber Security of Internet-of-Things. Join the journey towards an Internet of secure things right here at the Auditorium between 09:00 - 17:30 that day!

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) seamlessly connects the cyber and the physical worlds, extending the risk area to safety requiring a broader perspective on security. IoT is turning out to be one of the weakest spots in our infrastructure. With billions and in the near future potentially trillions of devices, the security risks are growing at great rates. Our economic and societal forces are creating a perfect storm, a pervasive infrastructure of trillions of IoT devices which on one hand will oversee our lives and economy, and on the other hand will be completely unmanageable from a security perspective.

To compound the risk, IoT systems are often devised and engineered in places where we have no control on, and unless we want to basically surrender our digital sovereignty by only relying on foreign solutions for our national cyber security, we need to find a way to secure them regardless of provenance and built-in malicious intents. INTERSCT. was created specifically to address this threat: it is a public private partnership funded by the Dutch National Research Council and more than 20 organizations in the context of their commitment to the Dutch National Science Agenda. It focuses on R&D and (technological) innovation for a novel approach to the cyber security of Internet-of-things.

During the 2024 INTERSCT. Conference, many of these issues will be addressed with an impressive line-up of invited speakers, panelists, and moderators. There will be keynote addresses by Mr. Bart Groothuis, two series of parallel sessions related to the various work packages in the NWO NWA INTERSECT project (Design, Defense, Attack, and Governance), a series of plenary sessions related to the state-of-the-art in cyber security of Internet-of-Things, as well as a networking lunch and a networking reception at the end of the event. Click here to find out all about the program!
