Keynote: A Comprehensive, Practical IoT Security Program
The IoT M2M Council is embarking on a series of open forums to discuss IoT security topics as they pertain to devices, networks, and cloud/app platforms.

What Are the New Industrial Applications? AI is everywhere these days, and IIoT is no exception.
