Description
Better business transparency and remote access are fundamentally important as the COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to operate in unprecedented times where a rapid transition to a more digitalised workflow is vital.
The ongoing strong development of the Internet of Things (IoT) is dramatically changing traditional perceptions of the current Internet towards an integrated vision in which smart objects interact with each other.
With this in mind, Cyberwatching.eu and the SOFIE project are collaborating to organise a 2-hour workshop entitled “Decentralised operation and security in the IoT Space” to be held on 18th June at 11 AM CEST (12 PM EEST). The workshop will be showcasing how decentralized operation and security in the IoT Space help our society and economy.
