Cybersecurity Challenges of Digital Transformation (PETRAS and partner HEI academics; PETRAS user partners, potential PETRAS user partners)

Learn more about key findings from PETRAS’s recently launched Industry Briefing on Cybersecurity for the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence in the Healthcare Sector and hear from the Forensic Capability Network’s forthcoming large scale digital transformation challenges. 

• Establishing a secure connectivity of new IoT devices with legacy systems; 
• Designing security protocols that would take into consideration user behaviour;
• Employing AI and ML to help detect threats and provide recommendations to cyber analysts.

Lunchtime SDTaP Research Showcase  
Listen to short presentations and live demonstrations from PETRAS, Innovate UK and EPSRC project researchers and partners as they explain their projects and present opportunities for new partner engagement; responses to surveys; networking opportunities and calls for discussion on challenges and barriers. 

SESSION 3 REGISTER HERE via the IET

Securing the Future: Supply Chains

Geopolitical events and COVID-19 continue to disrupt local and global supply chains, meaning resilience and agility in this sector is needed now more than ever. Many businesses will be turning to intelligent supply chain solutions enabled by the convergence of technologies such as IoT, AI, Machine Learning and 5G. Trends in offshore manufacturing mean high-value and sensitive design data is being transmitted across the globe. With these technologies come opportunities, but also new threats.    
 
This webinar event will cover topics such as: 

• The opportunities and challenges posed by the shortening of supply chains   
• How do businesses ensure provenance and trustworthiness when sourcing technologies?  
• With remote manufacturing, how can the security and provenance of high-value data flows between design and manufacturing locations be assured?  
• Notions of privacy and trust that arise from intelligent solutions  
• Does the increase in adoption of these new technologies pose increased cyber threats?
