How safe is your data?

Tuesday 1:10pm - 1:50pm, (Dunedin 1 Room)

Production chains, government agencies, farmers and researchers are experiencing a “Big Data Deluge” from sensors, space, legacy systems, etc.

But how safe and reliable is your Data coming from satellites or IoT devices?

Are you actually making good sense of it? And how secure are the devices that collect that data? Are they working accurately and transmitting with precision?

This talk will discuss these issues so users can more securely rely on data, take adequate decisions, and better understand the risks involved in every step of the decision-making process.
