Utimaco Security Expert to Speak at Cloud Computing Expo and Internet of Things West

Utimaco, a worldwide leading manufacturer of hardware-based security solutions, today announced that Johannes Lintzen, security expert and vice president of sales at Utimaco (News - Alert), will be speaking at Cloud Computing Expo 2014 in Santa Clara, CA (News - Alert) and Internet of Things West 2014 in Las Vegas, NV on November 4 and 6. Both events will feature and discuss advanced connectivity issues, security challenges and innovative advancements.

Connected devices are changing the way we go about our everyday life, from wearables to driverless cars, to smart grids and entire industries revolutionizing business opportunities through smart objects, capable of two-way communication. But what happens when objects are given an IP-address, and we rely on that connection, sometimes with our lives? How do we secure those vast data infrastructures and safe-keep the privacy of sensitive information? In his two speaking sessions, Lintzen will outline how each and every connected device can uphold a core root of trust via a unique cryptographic signature that ensures that every action a smart device initiates, is authenticated and reliable, without third-party obstruction. At Internet of Things West, Lintzen will also dive deeper into the connected car use case, discussing how to keep your car safe from crashes, hackers and breaches.
