Internet of Things, is a new revolution of the Internet. Objects make themselves recognizable and they get intelligence thanks to the fact that they can communicate information about themselves and they can access information that has been aggregated by other things. Alarm clocks go off early if there’s traffic; plants communicate to the sprinkler system when it’s time for them to be watered; running shoes communicate time, speed and distance so that their wearers can compete in real time with people on the other side of the world; medicine containers tell your family members if you forget to take the medicine. All objects can get an active role thanks to their connection to the Internet.

What if Things Start to Think - Artificial Intelligence in IoTMuralidhar Somisetty
Artificial intelligence will be functionally necessary to wield the vast number of connected “things” online, and will be even more important in making sense of an almost endless sea of data streamed in from these devices.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term that refers to the coming together of physical gadgets, social media, and cloud computing. It enables a network of connected devices to collect and share data on a scale never before seen. The Internet of Things is transforming our cities, homes, and even our bodies. Machines can now share personal data such as eating habits, medication adherence, and energy consumption enabling us to live healthier lives.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that describes a totally interconnected world. It’s a world where devices of every shape and size are manufactured with “smart” capabilities that allow them to communicate and interact with other devices, exchange data, make autonomous decisions and perform useful tasks based on preset conditions.
IoT is expected to gross over $19 trillion over the next few years. However, the problem is that these ‘things’ have myths surrounding them, some of which are impacting how organizations develop the apps to support them.
Any new technology involves a certain amount of uncertainty and business risk. In the case of the Internet of Things, however, many of the risks have been exaggerated or misrepresented. While the IoT vision will take years to mature fully, the building blocks to begin this process are already in place.
Key hardware and software are either available today or under development; stakeholders need to address security and privacy concerns, and collaborate to implement the open standards that will make the IoT safe, secure, reliable and interoperable, and allow the delivery of secured services as seamlessly as possible.
One of the most common misconceptions about the Internet of Things is that it's only about connected devices. In reality, the term Internet of Things/IoT applies to anything or everything that can be connected to the Internet, including people and ecosystems.
For example, smartwatches are an example of an IoT device, and so are wearable fitness trackers. Even tablets that support wireless capabilities can be considered IoT devices.
Each of them has its own unique software and hardware components that allow it to send data (over the Internet) to and receive data from other devices and sources, while also operating independently as a unit with built-in processing power.
All these different devices are connected together through a network, and they can then communicate with each other and even collect data from their surroundings and operate autonomously accordingly (a process called machine learning).
Let's see what emerging technologies are available for use in the Internet of Things technologies.
Today, we talk about the 5 wireless technologies commonly used in the Internet of Things technologies. Do you know what are they?

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

1. IST 264: Technology Foundations
“Laboratory Journal”
Harold Sowards
Spring, 2015
2. Chapter 1: Computers and Digital Basics
1. What are the four phases of the digital revolution?
Data processing,personalcomputing, computer networks, and cloud computing are the four phases ofthe
digital revolution.
2. What is convergence and how does it apply to the digital revolution?
Convergence is a process in which several technologies with distinct functions evolve to form a single
product.It basically created a sophisticated mobile device whose users demanded the access to the same
services available from full-sized computers.
3. How does digital technology affect society?
It makes it easier to cross cultural and geographical boundaries. It also expanded the freedom of speech as
well as gets rid of the expectation of privacy.
4. What’s the difference between an operating system and application system?
An operating systemis the master controller for all the activities that take place in the computer, while the
application systemis a series of programs that help someone carry out a task.
5. How do personal computers differ from servers, mainframes and supercomputers?
A personalcomputer is a micro-processor that is small and meets the needs of an individual. Servers serve
the needs of a network. A mainframe is very large and processes data for hundreds of users at a time. A
supercomputer is very fast and is used mainly for very detailed operations. So, basically pcs are different
from the others because it focuses on the needs of an individual instead of a group of people.
6. Are portable media players and mobile phones classified as computers?
Yes, they are classified as computers because they accept input, produce output,process data and include
storage capabilities. However, only those that allow you to install applications are considered a pc.
7. Why are microcontrollers the computers no one sees?
They are built into the device that they control.
8. Aren’t data and information the same thing?
No, data is symbols that represent people, events,things and ideas and they become information when it is
presented in a format that people can understand and use.Data is basically used by machines, while
information is used by humans.
9. What’s the difference between analog and digital?
Digital is simple discrete digits such as 0s and 1s, while analog is represented by an infinite scale of values.
10. Why is there so much jargon pertaining to bits and bytes?
Well, basically it is because bits are the digital representation of data and there is a lot of that. Bits can be
used to represent a lot of different sources of media and because of that there needs to be a way of
distinguishing them from bytes,which is basically 8 bits. All of the uppercase letters after that depends on
all the data being used and how much is being stored in such areas.
11.What hardware components manipulate the bits that represent data?
They travel by form of electrical pulses and all the circuits, chips and mechanical components in a digital
device are designed to work with bits.
12.Why do computers need programs?
3. Well, programs are what helps a computer control all digital devices, so without them, it won’t work so
well.
13. How do hackers steal passwords?
There is a variety of different ways in which a hacker can do this. For one, they can shouldersurfer or
dumpster dive, or use convenient methods of having it out in the open. Then there is software that allows
hackers to use a remote computer to guess passwords ortrick you into giving it up if connected to a
network. Then there are such things as dictionary attacks, brute force attacks,sniffing, phishing, and key
loggers such as the Trojan Horse software.
14.How can I create secure passwords?
Well, use at least 8 characters in length, and a combination of letters, numbers and special characters. Use
upper and lower case letters. Paraphrase. Never use public information or any part of your user id and avoid
words that can appear in a dictionary.
