TECHX UNIVERSITY

A view on the realities of emerging tech, innovation and sustained competitiveness

Sensor network or IoT has gained its interest in the recent years due to the penetration of Internet and smartphones in remote places. But this also increases the risk of exploitation by malicious users. There are multiple IoT devices which are prone to different kind of attacks allowing a malicious user to take control of it/data and use it for nefarious purposes. In this talk we are going to discuss about different types of attacks that can happen in IoT systems and how to prevent them. We will also cover management issues that is faced by current security deployment in IoT devices.
 

Launched in January 2017, Park N Parcel aims to create convenience for busy online shoppers who can never find the time to be home to receive their parcels. Bryan articulates how this idea came about and how Park N Parcel can help Singaporeans avoid spending their weekend mornings queuing at the post office to collect their missed parcels.

When it comes to deployment of Deep Learning for industrial applications, clients are looking for a secure and reliable option to perform analytics on confidential information. Edge computing is an emerging paradigm which uses local computing to enable analytics at the source of your data. With the full ability to operate without the need for internet connectivity, the jump from outsourcing dedicated servers on the cloud to owning your own edge computing device by SmartCow, puts AI on the edge at an affordable price.

Everyone knows we learn best while doing. Hence, using Virtual Reality (VR) is currently one of the most effective media to deliver more impactful workforce training, especially in the areas of safety training where replicating or reconstructing a safety scenarios is practically and logistically impossible. Hence, in this short talk, I will share how some large organisations are leveraging VR and also AR to enhance training efficiencies and productivity in the workplace

Out of the 1B restricted Stationary & Moveable Assets managed by Enterprise/Government customers WW, only ~2% (2M), typically the busiest commercial/governmental/residential assets, are secured with an Access Control Systems (ACS) using RFID/biometrics, while ~98% (980M) are still secured using a 3000-year-old technology – mechanical locks. Reasons for the low ACS adoption are high cost ($5K per asset) and reliance on power, connectivity and physical installations. While mechanical locks cost less, they offer minimal security and suffer from high CAPEX.
