The Smart Card Alliance this week announced the intention to form a new IoT Security Council for the provision of guidance on the adoption of secure technologies. In an effort to effectively address the ethical concerns of IoT, the non-profit organisation, comprising One members worldwide, intends to invest in smart card technology education, focusing on areas such as identification and payments with classes and certification programmes. It also seeks to serve as a resource for encouraging industries to work together to move technologies forward by promoting security awareness through events such as the Security of Things Conference, to be held in Illinois during October 2016. Executives believe new industries would benefit most from a safer set of IoT technologies adhering to defined standards for protecting device and data privacy.
