Convergence of Things: Tech Trends Meet for the Good and the Bad

IoT Security Podcast

Dr. Ulf Lindqvist reports in from the Computer Science Laboratory at SRI International where he’s the Senior Technical Director managing research and development. Focusing on critical infrastructure systems, including specialized systems in the Internet of Things, Dr. Lindqvist established and leads SRI’s infrastructure security research program. Yeah, so we’re pretty interested in the good doctor!

In this episode, Brian and John explore the path from academia, the right to repair, and the long timeline of researchers. Dr. Lindqvist describes what goes into a device lab — and it turns out you don’t just drive a car into it for connected vehicle testing.

Dr. Lindqvist thinks in terms of 10 years out, so when he looks at drones or quantum computing, he sees a convergence of Things, the good and the bad, moving faster than ever. The drones work well because of widespread navigation services and the shrinking size of technology. All of those things coming together can do great things, but they can also be used for nefarious purposes from all over the globe.
