Just like the Cloud, most people may not have heard of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, they will, and they continue to fuel the ever-expanding landscape of the devices and services, while not even realizing it. As this occurs, the Internet of Things (IoT) population of endpoints and data continues to rapidly grow accordingly. How does that impact Cyber Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA)?  In this session, we will discuss:  

  • Overview of IoT Capabilities as well as current and future trends
  • Mapping of trends/implementations to the CEMA models and objectives
  • IoT effects on Cyberspace Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Operational Preparation of the Environment (OPE)
  • Operating and Defending the networks against IoT Threat Vectors
  • IoT for situational Awareness in support of commander's operation


Having an understanding of the growing prominence of the IoT and how its presence impacts the CEMA environment, we can better refine ISR and OPE tasking to increase situational awareness, provide a more detailed Common Operating Picture and enhance the support of the commander's operations and objectives.
