[…] “As the hardware revolution has matured, startups can no longer rely on first to market and record breaking crowdfunding campaigns to help establish a business. Competition has rapidly expanded and once revolutionary new products are fast becoming commodity. But new sub-sets of markets are simultaneously arising – “enchanted objects” and new M2M devices are just starting to see mass adoption and are opening whole new markets. At the request of hardware entrepreneurs and last year’s participants, HardwareCon 2016 is expanding this year to include a Hardware University day at its start on Friday March 4th in addition to the expert advice and hard data provided to participants at HardwareCon.” […]
First to market with insecure product is no longer a reliable tactic? Nice to know! I can’t find anything on security at this conference. I am afraid this is one source of insecure IoT products, or as they like to call them, “enchanted objects”, after the book of the same name. If this conference continues, I hope the 4th/subsequent ones have a track on security.
