What’s next for IoT?A Software perspective!

Making things easy for Devs = holy grail!

No $13 Trillion market without Devs

Exploring new development models

event driven, server-less programming (lambda, Firebase)

frameworks (RedHat OpenShift, MSR Lab-of-things)

APIs (AllSeen/Open Connectivity)

IoTs are a big part of 5G

Require different requirements

low, latency

lots of periodic connections

How? Create Network Slices

How? Using NFV/SDN

10

IoT in the cloud: 5G, NFV and SDN

For 5G IoT vision, NFV/SDN must be successful in production

Servers/computer were already insecure

But atleast we had a defence (AV, IDS/IPS)!

SCADA systems were vulnerable

But not universally accessible!

IoT endpoints are vulnerable and accessible

70% of IoT devices

Mirai botnet = 620Gbps DDoS

IoT’s Achilles heel: Security

Securing the infra is essential for IoT success

The future might be limitless, ……

…but not without API, Frameworks, SDN and security
