8:50am - Stacey Higginbotham of Stacey on IoT: Mission Impossible

The IoT of today is far more secure than the IoT of six years ago when the Mirai botnet awakened everyone to the problem. But a multitude of factors mean that our networks are full of vulnerabilities ready to exploit. Government regulations and attention to security will help, but the problem isn't one we can solve. It's simply something we must adapt to. We'll talk about the current rules of the road, and best practices that line up with where regulations are heading. 

9:50am - Katerina Megas, NIST IoT Cybersecurity Program Manager 

Will provide an overview of the NIST IoT cybersecurity program principles, some of the key policy drivers for the NIST work, and highlight some of the core NIST guidance that can inform manufacturers of IoT products as they consider cybersecurity features and activities during their product development.

Leading the Wisconsin

Connectivity Initiatives 

What We Believe

We believe Wisconsin holds a unique position to lead the advancement of emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT).

With a rich history in manufacturing, software, retail, and healthcare, our state possesses the expertise, experience, and forward-thinking mindset required to shape the future of connected technology. For Wisconsin to thrive in this era of rapid technological transformation, we must foster innovation and collaboration among businesses as they explore and develop enhancements in their products and operations. By leveraging our shared strengths and nurturing local talent and enterprises, we can ensure that pioneering solutions are not only envisioned here but also realized and built within our state.

What We Do

The Council is a professional, member-driven organization committed to establishing Wisconsin as a hub of excellence for the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, and other emerging technologies. We provide our members with a platform for impactful networking, skill development, business expansion, and the exchange of specialized industry knowledge centered on the implementation of these technologies.

Additionally, we have developed an advocacy platform that seeks funding for training programs to support manufacturing businesses in integrating emerging technologies into their operations and products.

How We Do It

We provide statewide programming for our membership in an event series focused on Education, Capital, Talent, and Policy.  Additionally, we work to connect regional companies on topics of common interests and source and publish case studies of emerging IoT and AI products and implementations that have taken place in Wisconsin.

In bringing our resources to the membership, the Council has developed relationships with the UW-Electronic Business Consortium (UWEBC) and the WMEP.
