CONNECT University celebrated the European CyberSecurity Month 2018 by organising a thematic online event focused on how to secure the Internet of Things and face the cyber threats. We encourage you to watch the recording in order to find out more on this topic.

The fast evolution of IoT has raised security concerns on how can you keep all the connected devices secure and safe. As nowadays we are rapidly moving to an entirely interconnected world, the present CONNECT University session focused on tackling cybersecurity challenges in the age of Internet of Things. Therefore, the importance of cybersecurity in relation to IoT was highlighted, while discussing the high risks to which we are constantly exposed.
