As they say, “Anything that can be connected, will be connected”. Internet of Things (IoT) is one promising paradigm that has potential to impact networking larger than life.

Chinese Institute of Engineers (CIE) hosted its 27^th annual convention with a concentrate on Technology, Manufacturing, Operation and Services.   Orchestra Technology is one organization that shares the same vision by bringing together best of Talents, Technology and Services in the area of wireless communications and networking.

Very well recognized as a Mobility Expert, Jairaj was invited as one of the key note speakers at CIE 27^th annual convention to share his technical expertise & experience and, serve the very purpose of the symposium “Smart City, SmartLife”.http://www.cie-fw.org/events/2016/convention/symposium.html.

During his discourse, Jairaj talked of the various challenges of Internet of Things and the command and control that can be done with IoT, with a bigger focus on the Security issues that is faced with IoT. Jairaj says, ‘’ IoT is a seamless combination of embedded intelligence, ubiquitous connectivity and deep analytical insights. It is a deep kinetics of things creating unique and disruptive value for businesses, consumers and societies. A Phenomena that can scale high because of falling hardware costs, cloud services and relatively ubiquitous communications.”  He discussed the different challenges in deploying IoT services, the value propositions, the scalability that has to be achieved and how to convert the challenges into opportunities by way of scaling services, applications, censors and infrastructure.

With the limitless opportunities that this computing concept brings about, comes along challenge of making it insusceptible. The advent of high scale IoT poses various kind of threats like DDos, Information disclosure, Device Spoof/MIMT, Poor Management etc. He emphasised on how any weak link can bring about device-to-device attack. IoT is comprised of interdependent, complex and cumbersome network where there are many stakeholders and service providers at each point in the architecture. The whole system starting from the gateway to network, to devices, to end point, to data centre, have their own bringing off and any compromise of device at any stage, internally or externally, can corrupt the whole system. He suggests that IoT vulnerabilities is mainly because the devices are very small in size and the constant pressure to bring the cost down.

In his presentation, Jairaj proposed for an IoT security model that can be based on Scalability & better management of devices and; adopting some basic principles like using standards wherever possible, in-depth defence mechanism, all IoT applications to be run in secured containers, all code to be signed & only trusted code to be executed, all communications to be encrypted & authenticated, all access to resources to be authenticated and authorized etc.

He also accentuated the importance of ‘End Point Identity Management’ and put forward the measures for effective End point Identity Management-all end points, including devices and applications, must be enrolled before they participate in the IoT system; the end point must either authenticate itself directly or be vouched for, by a previously enrolled gateway; configurable delegation of trust for different use cases and; a safe end-of-life process for the engaged devices. He suggested the Cooperative Security Fabric in the Enterprise so as to find out the global security threat and finally, the micro segmentation so that the data and information does not propagate.

Under Jairaj’ s leadership, Orchestra Technology is breaking barriers with Enterprise Mobility smart solutions and fostering innovations in the area of Internet of Things. The team aims to build solutions for Mobile Architecture in order to better manage mobile devices, wireless networks and cloud computing for the businesses.
