IoT security is no longer only about protecting individual devices, but the wider systems and networks they connect to. While standards and regulation have supported positive progress, challenges remain around real-world implementation, visibility and control.

This interview with Alex Leadbeater, Technical Security Director at the GSMA and TC Cyber Chair at ETSI, will explore how far IoT security has come, what has worked in practice, and where further improvement is still needed, in particular:

• How distributed and edge environments are changing IoT security needs
• What standards and regulation have achieved in practice
• Why traditional perimeter security no longer works for IoT
• The role of real-time visibility, zero trust and automation
• What needs to happen next to move beyond compliance
