Cisco announced a grand challenge with $300,000 in prize money that invites the global security community to propose inteligent solutions to security issues created by the Internet of Things. The "Internet of Things" is a concept aimed at making our devices, gadgets, appliances and transports all interconnected in the name of convenience and Big Data - whether businesses want additional data on their customers or consumers want to control their appliances through their smartphones. According to the submission criteria for the IoT grand challenge, contestants should submit a brief (four to six pages) non-confidential proposal with detailed description marking the key differentiation in the solution, along with case studies of successful applications of the solution. The deadline for applications is June 17, 2014. The proposals' feasibility, scalability, performance, and ease of use will be assessed by an evaluation panel consisting of five Cisco engineers and scientists, including Dave Evans, the company's Chief Futurist. Winning solutions will be showcased this fall at the Internet of Things World Forum. Read more -here-
