The Internet of Things (IOT) allows one to check and control devices and sensors fully automatically and remotely.
All sorts of equipment including cameras, physical health monitors, domotics, alarms and access control systems can report events and the receiver of these notifications can take action when necessary.
These devices and sensors can be used everywhere. Not only in the house, in hospitals, storage facilities or industrial plants, but also in vehicles, phones, portable computers, clothing, etc.
This offers many opportunities and the possible applications are virtually unlimited.
In this presentation we will give an overview of the possibilities and risks one has to take into account when designing and developing IOT systems.
We also give a set of sound rules of thumb that should be kept in mind when installing, configuring and deploying IOT systems in the field to ensure that the installed system does not only work reliably but also safely and securely, even long after its initial deployment.
