"We live in a world where connected devices outnumber PCs by at least five to one, and that gap is rapidly widening. Yet virtually all of these devices are fielded with less security than a home PC," said Adrian Turner, CEO at Mocana. "Our industry needs to work together to set an agenda to fix this, and the Amphion Forum is the only event that brings together the experts from the different industries that all have different pieces of the puzzle. We need to get this done before it's too late."

The Amphion Forum brings together thought leaders from academia, business, government and technology to discuss the threats and opportunities presented by the unprecedented proliferation of connected devices - the 'Internet of Things'. After an opening statement by Adrian Turner, CEO at Mocana to welcome forum attendees, the event will kick off with a keynote address by General Michael V. Hayden (ret'd), the former director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.

Among the other notables speaking at the event will be Ira Winkler, chief security strategist at Codenomicon, who will present, "Driving Them to the Brink - Fuzz Testing Devices to Uncover Security Flaws;" Ben Jun, CTO at Cryptography Research, who will present, "Stealing Keys from Devices with Differential Power Analysis;" Mike Siegel, vice president of products at Mocana, who will present, "Securing the Mobile Enterprise: The App is the New Endpoint;" and Bill Seibel, CEO at Mobiquity, who will present, "End-to-End Security Strategies for New Devices." The full agenda is available online at http://www.responsetrack.net/lnk/com/1hg4c/?18OWQ0092E2 Amphion Forum will also present a number of moderated panel discussions. Robert Rodriguez, executive director of Security Innovation Network, will moderate, "What are Thought Leaders Doing Differently to Address the Device/App Security Space?," while Dr. Dale Nordenberg, executive director of MDISS Consortium, will moderate, "Medical Device Hacking Update."

The afternoon forum agenda comprises four technology tracks featuring seventeen presentations by thought leaders from a number of leading technology companies.
