The Internet of Things (IoT) is the notion that nearly everything
we use, from gym shorts to streetlights, will soon be connected to
the Internet; the Internet of Everything (IoE) encompasses not just
objects, but the social connections, data, and processes that the
IoT makes possible. Industry and financial analysts have predicted
that the number of Internet-enabled devices will increase from 11
billion to upwards of 75 billion by 2020. Regardless of the number,
the end result looks to be a mind-boggling explosion in Internet
connected stuff. Yet, there has been relatively little attention
paid to how we should go about regulating smart devices, and still
less about how cybersecurity should be enhanced. Similarly, now
that everything from refrigerators to stock exchanges can be
connected to a ubiquitous Internet, how can we better safeguard
privacy across networks and borders? Will security scale along with
this increasingly crowded field? Or, will a combination of perverse
incentives, increasing complexity, and new problems derail progress
and exacerbate cyber insecurity? For all the press that such
questions have received, the Internet of Everything remains a topic
little understood or appreciated by the public. This volume
demystifies our increasingly "smart" world, and unpacks many of the
outstanding security, privacy, ethical, and policy challenges and
opportunities represented by the IoE. Scott J. Shackelford provides
real-world examples and straightforward discussion about how the
IoE is impacting our lives, companies, and nations, and explain how
it is increasingly shaping the international community in the
twenty-first century. Are there any downsides of your phone being
able to unlock your front door, start your car, and control your
thermostat? Is your smart speaker always listening? How are other
countries dealing with these issues? This book answers these
questions, and more, along with offering practical guidance for how
you can join the effort to help build an Internet of Everything
that is as secure, private, efficient, and fun as possible.
