Abstract: The Five Stages of (IoT) Grief. From denial to acceptance, Jeff will walk through the five stages of (IoT) grief, and talk about how we can all come to grips with the explosion of connected devices dominating our homes and workplaces. He’ll discuss the definition of IoT, how to use connected devices securely (including when not to use them), the threats they pose, and how policymakers in Washington and at the state level are coping with new technology.
