A look at how advanced technologies like the Internet of Things are affecting the networks supporting day-to-day traffic and transportation (ITS). From IMSA Forum & Expo July 2017, Phoenix, Az.

3. What do we mean by IoT?
“[T]he Internet will disappear.
There will be so many IP addresses,
so many devices, sensors, things that you are wearing,
things that you are interacting with, that
you won't even sense it.”
Eric Schmidt, Google Chairman
“A network of items each embedded with sensors
which are connected to the Internet.”
IEEE, Internet of Things,2014
4. The ITS world is already a connected
world…isn’t it?
Highway Advisory Radio

Road Weather Info System
(RWIS)

6. The IoT wave is just beginning
…in 2017, that number is just 3!
By 2025, there will be 10 internet connected devices for everyone on the planet…

9. 1. Defend, defend, defend
Routers & switches are vulnerable
Malware, hacks, backdoors are real threats to network infrastructure
“If the network infrastructure is compromised, malicious hackers or
adversaries can gain full control of the network infrastructure enabling
further compromise of other types of devices and data and allowing
traffic to be redirected, changed, or denied.”
10. 1: Defend, defend, defend
With a Defense in Depth Approach
Secure on the Inside
•Network Access Control
•Network Hardening
•Analytics
Prevent
•“Plug and Play” IoT
•Simple VPNs
•Profile-Driven Policies
Containerize
•IDS Integration
•Quarantine
•DDoS Mitigation
Mitigate
11. 2: Take a load off
Remote management and automation
Complex networks need powerful management tools
•Auto switch config
•Auto Attachment
•Auto SPB
•Self Healing

16. To conclude, we turn to an IoT expert
• On defense
“Love all, trust few, do wrong to none”
All’s Well That Ends Well
“Better three hours too soon than a minute too late”
The Merry Wives of Windsor
“A fool doth think he is wise
but the wise man knows himself to be a fool”
