Join host Alix Paultre at The Things Conference as he speaks with Markus Soppa from filancore about the future of IoT security. They explore how decentralized, identity-centric security is transforming the Internet of Things — giving ownership and trust back to users and devices instead of centralized platforms like Google or Facebook.

Topics covered:
- What “identity-centric” security means
- Why centralized identity systems are failing
- How Philancore enables trust between IoT devices
- The role of cryptographic identity in the Cyber Resilience Act


The Future of IoT Security: Building Trust Without Central Authorities

Join Alix Paultre at the Things Conference as he chats with Simon Ford from Blecon about the evolving role of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in IoT networks. In this episode, you’ll learn about:

- The advantages and trade-offs of BLE vs. LoRa
- How BLE networks are becoming smarter and more capable
- Multi-protocol deployments and the rise of hybrid IoT networks
- BLE in edge devices, cloud integration, and firmware updates
- How BLE adoption benefits from economies of scale and existing device ecosystems

How Bluetooth Networks are Shaping Multi-Protocol IoT

In the last 10 years there has been an exponential growth of smart devices – both human centric like phones and tablets as well as machine centric like sensors and monitoring equipment to run systems. As the devices proliferate, it is becoming critically important for businesses to develop a strategy to leverage the opportunity to use the information and interaction capability as part of their business strategy. Join our speakers Andy Piper, Messaging Community Lead, IBM Software Group; Angel Diaz, Vice President Software Standards, IBM Software Group; and Arlen Nipper, President and CTO, Eurotech Inc., and learn about:

• MQ TT protocol a fundamental technology for device communications
• Enabling new solutions with MQ TT (Smarter Planet, Internet of Things and Social business)
• Smarter Hospitals, Smarter energy and messaging for mobile solutions
