| 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM | Panel 1- IoT Procurement: Assembling the Pieces IoT procurement is still a work in progress. Although the various components of IoT are generally available in the market, the federal government lacks the cohesive acquisition ecosystem needed to support widespread IoT adoption, both in terms of providing integrated solutions and achieving economies of scale. This session will look at emerging best practices in assembling an IoT acquisition strategy. Potential topics to be addressed include:
- Integrated solutions: One procurement, multiple components
- Defining requirements: Tech specs vs. mission outcome
- IoT defined: How industry can help agency procurement officials
- R&D pilots: The role of OTAs and public-private partnerships

| 10:15 AM - 11:15 AM | Panel 2- Governance and Security: Keeping Pace with IoT Threats As IoT initiatives become a more integral part of agency operations, they will draw increasing attention from malicious actors looking to disrupt services or siphon off data. The challenge is that in many cases, IoT is being implemented without the kind of security features and practices that have evolved in more traditional IT environments. This session will look at steps that agencies can take to address emerging cyber threats. Potential topics to be addressed include:
- Dynamic cyber terrain protection: Options for providing real-time changes to policy, permissions, and system patches
- Supply chain threats: Emerging strategies for securing the manufacturing and development origin of IoT devices and the related component ecosystem
- Identity management: Authentication-related protocols and policies that can shore up weaknesses in the security architecture
- Hardware encryption: How to mitigate the potential for the transmission or storage of unencrypted data

| 11:15 AM - 12:15 PM | Panel 3- Leveraging IoT: What’s Needed to Make It Work As agencies explore the possibilities of IoT, they will find that they need to think about a whole host of new technology issues—or think about familiar issues in new ways. This session will focus on the key considerations that must be addressed as part of many IoT initiatives. Potential topics to be addressed include:
- Managing the data explosion: IoT, supply chains, logistics and blockchain
- Weaving a web of sensors: Tactics, benefits and obsolescence
- The need for ubiquitous reliable communications: Because silence isn’t golden
