As an embedded developer getting into secure IoT communications, I'm seeing a huge expertise shortage in this area. Some very clever tiny devices to aid secure implementation, and a lot of vague talk about the need for cyber security, but very little in depth expertise. A number of silicon vendors have great little devices, for example Atmel, and people like Amazon are putting in place the cloud aspect, but as for training courses and application engineers able to support these developments, things are very thin. It would be nice to see the IET champion some practical hands-on embedded IoT security events.
