The Private Equity Digital Transformation Show (general)

The smart home or connected home makes life good. Comfortable. Reminiscent of the Jetson’s in many ways. But business models aside, today’s big question, at least for me, is if it really is a DIY (do it yourself) market as it’s currently being betrayed. Not so easy to install. Not so easy to repair, so is it better to be handled by the professionals (installers, integrators, service providers)? You can paint your house but do you want to when professionals can be hired?

If your company is collecting data, and every IoT company collects data, it needs a formal “Information SecurityProgram”. We’ve talked risk assessment in the past, that is the process of assigning liability to each potential security breach, but that’s only part of the program. In this episode of the IoT business Show, I speak with John Ansbach about the rest of the“Information Security Program”, impending regulation and privacy concerns.

The business counterpart to IoT security risk, loosely defined as probability times liability. The current narrative around liability is centered on privacy but it turns out that laws, regulations, and cybersecurity, in general, are some of the other elements in the IoT liability matrix. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Mark Radcliffe about the current IoT legal framework and the potential liabilities to address early on in the IoT product development cycle.

Lose five pounds of belly fat in five days! Sound too good to be true? Yeah, it probably is and because of that, you would expect the FTC to be all over it. But instead of weight loss products, what about IoT products? What’s fair? What’s deceptive? In this episode of the IoT show, I speak with Jared Ho about the FTC’s role in IoT and some guidelines to help your company navigate through the gray.

Security and privacy are uttered together so often that many believe they’re the same thing. They’re not. Security is a technical issue and privacy is a business issue, and furthermore, privacy is only one type of liability that should be considered when talking IoT security. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I add a bit of sharpness to the security and privacy narrative.

What’s the legal definition of a product? Does it cover IoT and is IoT classified a product or a service? Given our laws were never designed for the types of products being sold today, it’s not surprising that there are different interpretations of our current laws and regulations when it comes to IoT. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Ron Quirk and Alex Schneider about the legal limbo we’re in and how the legal landscape is evolving to catch up with the times.

When we buy an IoT Product for our home or our business, the advice is the same: read the fine print. There are plenty of technical obstacles that can be thrown in your way to stop you from having complete control over your data but sometimes the devil is in the details and these contractual details can have a major effect on your business. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Johannes Ernst about the IoT Overloads and the upcoming data showdown.

Repeat this mantra: Privacy by Design, Privacy by Design. Although, Security by Design is a best practice followed by IoT companies in the know, its business counterpart, related to risk, isn’t chanted nearly as often as it should be. Privacy by Design should be repeated with every second breath. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Paul Plofchan about Privacy by Design and other privacy best practices.

Although an integral part of IoT security, IoT privacy doesn’t rely on technology. It relies instead on self-imposed business rules that govern the way the collected data is used within and outside of the enterprise. As with many things tech, government and law is unable to keep up with the innovation of IoT and with what some call its digital exhaust. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with privacy expert Dale Smith about the top 5 best practices in handling personally identifiable information (PII) and other IoT privacy issues.

Before talking go to market strategy, we need to talk, go to green light strategy. For most people, internal or external, IoT is a big unknown and unknowns are scary. To get thatIoT pilot started, think small and evolutionary. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Michael Minkevich about his experience in building IoT products and systems and the best way to get them greenlit.
