UCSB’s network serves more than 400 connected buildings and about 125,000 connected devices, including IoT technology.
The Rise of Shadow IoT Devices Among College Students But what happens when students bring connected devices to campus that escape the IT team’s oversight?
IoT Device Management Is Crucial for Reducing Security Vulnerabilities But students’ expectations for seamless connectivity often collide with the realities of network security.
Building the Architecture for Secure IoT at Scale Private preshared key technology is another method of addressing IoT security in higher education, specifically in shared spaces such as residence halls.
Governance and Policy: Managing IoT Across the College Campus Not all campus technology categories come with built-in governance guardrails, which is an inconsistency that complicates IoT oversight.

The UAE’s energy, aviation, government sectors have been key targets for cyberattacks, the country’s cybersecurity head said, adding that cyber resilience is increasingly linked to national and economic security.
Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity for the UAE government, said in a keynote speech at Gisec Global that critical infrastructure is a major target, with bad actors attempting to attack essential sectors like energy, telecommunications, aviation, government and healthcare.
640,000 attacks in one day The cybersecurity chief said on Tuesday that the UAE recorded 640,000 cyberattacks in one single day, with attacks targeting data and critical sectors.
These attacks go far beyond temporary service disruption, with hackers targeting data and critical sectors such as electricity, water and the economy, Al Kuwaiti said.
His message was that security must be built into new technologies by design from the outset, rather than added later.

This certified integration enables asset data to flow continuously and bi-directionally between the Cyolo platform and the Nozomi Networks platform.
With an up-to-date view of assets sourced directly from Nozomi, Cyolo customers can define and manage access policies through a single, streamlined process.
Because Nozomi continuously assesses the risk of each asset, Cyolo can incorporate that risk score directly into access policy.
“This integration brings together the visibility Nozomi provides with the access controls Cyolo enforces,” said Michael Langer, VP Product, Cyolo.
“Our customers depend on Nozomi Networks for a clear, continuous understanding of the assets and risks across their OT environments,” said Adam Markham, Nozomi Networks Technology Alliances Director.

High consequence attacks that move fast compound the cyber risks for Australian organisations.
Those are illustrated in the most recent cyber threat report from the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC).
But let's get real: the CISOs role hasn't changed, the urgency for cyber resilience has.
In one example described by Australian Signals Directorate Head of Cyber Security Resilience Chris Horlyck, the Essential 8 is evolving into the Australian Cyber Essentials (the "Essentials") as part of a modern defensible architecture.
In an already elevated threat landscape, containment with visibility and zero trust are imperative to maintaining business resilience.

A few years ago, during a routine prelaunch review of new connected IoT hardware, our team scanned a batch of brand new, latest model hardware and found a potential bug, which was not uncommon, but also noticed something else.
Based on previous experience, we suspected potential breakdowns in the vendor’s supply chain, product manufacturing and assembly, or testing and quality assurance processes.
Why the security spec may not survive the build A design specification describes intent, and security is usually something most makers of any IT equipment, including IoT and OT device manufacturers, intend.
Nobody likes these, but they are out there out of necessity and remain one of the most common weaknesses in IoT, OT and other network connected devices.
Security flaws and vulnerabilities in software also are a challenge with IoT and OT devices.

Rakuten Maritime and ClassNK are calling for shipping to move away from fragmented digital tools towards integrated ship platforms capable of combining data, cybersecurity, communications and operational technology.
Individual cloud, satellite communications, IoT, monitoring and cyber products are increasingly common onboard, but often sit in separate silos.
Rakuten Maritime is positioning its Maritime Total Solution as an answer to this fragmentation, bringing together IoT, cloud storage, satellite-based mobile networks, ship IoT, edge computing and cybersecurity management.
The current phase adds Rakuten Cloud and satellite-to-mobile services, before a final integration of OT, IoT, data, cloud, security and satellite communications into what it describes as a complete one-stop smart ship solution.
The wider ambition is to make the digital ship less a collection of products and more a single operating architecture.

Start With Accurate Asset Discovery and Device Inventory Asset discovery is one of the first problems governments need to solve.
Connected devices that stay online for years without timely firmware updates pose significant and unnecessary IoT security risks to government networks.
Strengthen Network Security Through Device Segmentation After agencies identify their connected devices, they need to control how those devices communicate.
Third-party contractors may require remote access for maintenance, which makes identity and access controls part of the device security problem.
That planning should also govern connected device purchases.

Massive IoT deployment and private 5G networks shift cyber risk from isolated device faults to large-scale, real-time disruption.
Expanded threat landscape Huge attack surface: Billions of remotely reachable devices create countless entry points.
Weak device security: Default passwords, poor encryption, insecure updates and limited hardware protections leave many IoT devices exposed.
Cyber-physical impact: Private 5G connects sensors, machines and control systems, so breaches can alter operations, not just steal data.
CERT-In measures Issue sector-specific, real-time threat intelligence and attack signatures for telecom, manufacturing, health and smart-city networks.

That distinction shaped the trilogue “Cyber-Physical Trust: Securing OT, Infrastructure & Connected Operations” at the 9th ETCISO Annual Conclave 2026 at Grand Hyatt, Goa.
The panel consequently argued against treating OT security as merely an extension of traditional enterprise IT security.
In operational environments, however, safety and availability can take precedence because technology is directly connected to machinery and physical processes.
The transcript highlighted how some industrial systems continue operating despite limited documentation and uncertain consequences if they are restarted.
A traditional cyber incident may immediately be routed to the security operations centre.

This is the central argument around smart cities: the promise of order against the risk of control.
A smart city at the expense of civil liberties is not a smart city; it is an Orwellian world.
Despite these challenges, smart cities offer significant security opportunities.
Smart cities can protect ordinary citizens and provide a deep sense of security.
To build a smart city without a smart society is to build a beautiful house on sand.

Researchers, cybersecurity experts, industry professionals, and students from across the country participated in the International Conference on Advancement in Cyber Security and Digital Forensics (ICACSDF 2026), where discussions centered on emerging cyber threats, digital investigations, and the challenges posed by rapid technological advancement.
“While ‘Digital India’ is our strength, a ‘Secure Digital India’ is our necessity,” he said.
He also stressed the importance of strengthening digital forensics as evidence increasingly comes from mobile phones, computers, servers, and networks.
Experts said India needed to build capabilities to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats through education, research, and innovation.
They called for greater cooperation among government agencies, universities, industry, security agencies, and society to develop indigenous technologies and security solutions.
