Who could foresee these things would happen one year ago? The opinion polls pointed in the wrong direction just days before these events actually happened. The world has become more complex and much harder to predict. Things happen fast and all these big changes, including technology, affect us. Of course we can easily draw some conclusions. One is that the technology market is heading towards a reality where different systems and functions are connected and communicate with one another. The Internet of Things era is here and security is an important part of this technology revolution. This has been confirmed in many ways during 2016. The leading annual security exhibition in Europe – Ifsec in London – launched a Smart Zone in June this year. Skydd, the biggest exhibition in Scandinavia, had a similar themed area named the Smart City when it took place in late October. Furthermore, at these events and at other security shows, solutions for IoT and smart buildings were high up on the agenda among several of the exhibitors, presenting different solutions. There is no doubt that this is really a subject of great interest. The conservatism that has run through the security industry for decades seems to have been blown away and now everyone has taken on board the fact that physical security has become a part of a wider IT arena. Now, the opportunities and benefits that IoT offers overshadow the security concerns of yesterday. Convenience, workflow efficiency, energy savings and other environmental and economic advantages are strong selling points. A revolution is taking place. It will not just change the way we use technology, but also the way we do business. Being part of it is essential for future success and possibly for survival. It is for sure an exciting and challenging time for anyone looking for opportunities. But there is also another side of the coin, the risks that come with an increasingly networked society. The more we are connected, the more vul- B nerable we become. How do we deal with that? Well, there is no way back. We have to take advantage of what IoT offers, but crucially we must also keep up security levels. This will be one of the big challenges for the security industry. The benefits of IoT are easy to identify, but they can also easily make us blind to the risks that comes with them. Technology is not always a good replacement for human beings and connected technology systems must always have redundancy. Secure IoT solutions demand smart risk management. The complexity of risk management these days has been revealed by the many huge IT-attacks that have taken place lately. Can we trust connected technology solutions? Yes, but they have to be backed up with actions and routines to minimize risks and also be designed to react if a threat comes through. The human factor is always part of the risk and, so too technological devices can be exposed to that risk. Recently Bloomberg news revealed that security cameras from the Chinese manufacturer Hangzhou Xiongmai Technology were hijacked by attackers using the Mirai Malware to launch a cyber-attack with severe consequences. It closed internet access for millions of users and sites like Twitter, Spotify and CNN were taken down. This underscores how hackers can cause big scale damage through the weakness offered by connected devices. And of course, as we increase the number of networked devices connected to the Internet, the more we increase our vulnerability, which attracts criminal hackers to launch attacks even more. So with IoT it is very much about doing things right, including using reliable technology platforms and making sure that devices are secured before they are connected to the system. HP reports that up to 70 percent of commonly used IoT devices are vulnerable to cyber attacks. The core business of physical security solutions providers is securing things, people and information. Therefore the security industry´s approach to IoT requires more caution than other industries. And that is also why the security industry is so important for the development of safe IoT solutions.
