Book Description
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the notion that nearly everything we use,from gym shorts to streetlights,will soon be connected to the Internet; the Internet of Everything (IoE) encompasses not just objects,but the social connections,data,and processes that the IoT makes possible. Industry and financial analysts have predicted that the number of Internet-enabled devices will increase from 11 billion to upwards of 75 billion by: 2020. Regardless of the number,the end result looks to be a mind-boggling explosion in Internet connected stuff. Yet,there has been relatively little attention paid to how we should go about regulating smart devices,and still less about how cybersecurity should be enhanced. Similarly,now that everything from refrigerators to stock exchanges can be connected to a ubiquitous Internet,how can we better safeguard privacy across networks and borders? Will security scale along with this increasingly crowded field? Or,will a combination of perverse incentives,increasing complexity,and new problems derail progress and exacerbate cyber insecurity? For all the press that such questions have received,the Internet of Everything remains a topic little understood or appreciated by: the public.
This volume demystifies our increasingly “smart” world,and unpacks many of the outstanding security,privacy,ethical,and policy challenges and opportunities represented by: the IoE. Scott J. Shackelford provides real-world examples and straightforward discussion about how the IoE is impacting our lives,companies,and nations,and explain how it is increasingly shaping the international community in the twenty-first century. Are there any downsides of your phone being able to unlock your front door,start your car,and control your thermostat? Is your smart speaker always listening? How are other countries dealing with these issues? This book answers these questions,and more,along with offering practical guidance for how you can join the effort to help build an Internet of Everything that is as secure,private,efficient,and fun as possible
