On October 21, Internet connectivity in parts of the United States slowed to a crawl as thousands of net-connected, malware infected devices unwittingly staged a massive denial of service attack. By 2020, there will be anywhere from 20 billion to 50 billion internet-connected devices, including about one in five cars, according to industry forecasts. This panel will discuss what can be done to leverage the growing power of the Internet of Things without further spreading vulnerabilities.

About Defense One Summit
At the 4th Annual Defense One Summit, global security leaders will gather to explore three themes — Crisis, Conflict, and Continuity — as the American presidency shifts to a new commander in chief. As the war on terrorism rages on, senior officials will sit with national security journalists to discuss their views, goals, and predictions about a range of issues, from daily combat in Iraq to the grand-strategy games of the great powers, and the challenges of managing budgets, equipment, and people as they shift to a new administration.
