This Midlands Cyber Cluster event will provide great insights to manufacturers on how to effectively protect assets and IP from the growing threat of Cybercrime and the importance of supply chain assurance and certification. The event will feature two keynote sessions, followed by an open Q&A session. Midlands Cyber’s speakers are keen to offer practical advice, support and real life case studies to guide both emerging and established manufacturing firms.


Speaker Line Up :

- Martin Duffy, IoT Security Certification Manager at The IASME Consortium

With an emphasis on the manufacturing supply chain and the Internet of Things (IoT), this talk will explore the benefits of security certification both at the device and at the organizational level.

Presentation Title : “The value of Cyber Security certification”

Martin will discuss:

  • How advances in smart manufacturing may multiply security risks, and how to mitigate against these risks.
  • The likely impact of imminent legislation around security of internet-connected devices.
  • The importance of aligning with a recognised industry standard.
  • The benefits of certification from a trusted body, and what makes a trusted body.

Presentation Title : Economic and Consumer Chain Analysis of Secure Hardware Adoption.

Hardware security advances serve to improve secure implementation of digital systems, including in manufacturing, transport, health and defence. Adoption and integration of secure hardware techniques however remain a challenge: additional costs, technical complexities, technical knowhow and awareness, and a dependable supply chain. The UK’s Digital Security by Design (DSbD) initiative serves to address such issues. This talk will highlight some of the secure hardware adoption and integration issues based on a study from across the ecosystem stakeholders, and funded by Discribe, which is the DSbD Social Sciences Hub+.
