A machine is in charge. just click on the faucet. in the small homes of the future lighting cleaning and. sophisticated networks of senses and devices. its all part of the internet of things and interconnectedness is being extended beyond the home to. smart solutions are being tested here in. the digital transformation of cities is bound up with the internet of things or i.o.t. with more and more interconnected sensors and urban centers collecting ever more data. here the smart city concept is b...

Data. here the smart city concept is being promoted by small startup companies like mine here young computer scientists and technology freaks are working on an i o. t. platform that links the sensors in the city. this is a smart city cockpit weve distributed various sensors throughout the city. us to visualize different use cases weve set up a number of parking space sensors and here we can see that a space is occupied in haagen on street. sensors a relatively small this is a parking sensor that...

>> its a process the private sector already relies on. >> if you look at google, microsoft, facebook, twitter, the banks, a lot of fortune 500 companies established capture the flag competitions. >> red teaming may be a common practice, it carries risks that need to be managed. >> typically there are rules of engagement given to participants in these hacks. >> hackers need to be vetted and signed nondisclosure contracts to prevent leaking classified information. >> just because you give a group ...
