Navigating the Security Implications of AI, IoT, and 5G Integration
Mr Lai Chi Leung, Michael
Principal Consultant, Deeptino Tech Limited

This presentation will delve into the dynamic landscape of security and the transformative impact of advanced technologies. As Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, and enhanced analytics capabilities become increasingly integrated into security frameworks, they are fundamentally reshaping operational methodologies. The advent of widespread connectivity is ushering an unprecedented number of devices and sensors into the digital fold, dramatically expanding the capacity for data collection and analysis. This paradigm shift is enhancing situational awareness and informing decision-making processes, but it also escalates potential vulnerabilities and expands the threat landscape. I n this talk, we will navigate through the complexities of adopting emergent technologies while fortifying security postures. We will explore how leveraging behavioural analytics in conjunction with IoT and video data can elevate threat detection and response. The discussion will include an examination of 5G’s role in enhancing device connectivity and its subsequent security ramifications.

  

11:00 – 11:40
Innovating Security in Hong Kong: Addressing Labor Shortages with Secure IoT Solutions
Mr Wong Tin Hau, John
Chairman, The Hong Kong Security Association

This presentation introduces a cutting-edge IoT-based security platform designed to tackle the pressing labor shortage in Hong Kong’s security sector. We explore the current challenges faced by estates and malls, emphasizing the need for a technologically advanced yet secure solution. The presentation delves into the capabilities of IoT in enhancing security operations through automation and real-time monitoring, while prioritizing cybersecurity. We discuss strategies to safeguard IoT systems against cyber threats, ensuring robust protection for the network. The implementation strategy covers phased deployment with continuous security assessments. A central control room and mobile integration demonstrate real-time response capabilities with secure data transmission. A case study highlights the platform’s effectiveness in a real-world scenario, showcasing how it addresses labor shortages and maintains high cybersecurity standards. The presentation concludes with a call to action for adopting this innovative and secure approach to revolutionize security in Hong Kong.

  

11:40 – 12:00
Securing smart buildings with BACnet/SC
Mr Nigel Ko
Head of Innovation, XTRA Sensing

BACnet as a communication protocol, forms the backbone of a majority of building automation systems. However, it was not initially designed with security built-in and relied on air-gap segregation and physical controls to stay out of threats. In the increasingly connected Industry 4.0 world, such controls have become all the more difficult if not outright impossible to realize. Enters BACnet/SC; as defined in BACnet Standard Addendum 135 2016bj, BACnet/SC was designed to add modern-day cyber security to the protocol while maintaining backward compatibility.  Building NDT expert Mr. Ko will give an overview of BACnet/SC, and practical advices on how to develop secure building automation devices and test them for BACnet/SC compliance.
