My focus was on the security summit track where we had a great line up of experienced and thoughtful presenters and panel members. ![Connect World Summit Stage](https://info.htmsolutions.biz/hs-fs/hubfs/Connect%20World%20Summit%20Stage.jpg?width=800&name=Connect%20World%20Summit%20Stage.jpg)A shout out here to the [organizing team](https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/smart-summit-series/) and their choice of venue. [Printworks](https://www.printworkslondon.co.uk/hire/) is a dramatically industrial space in a rapidly developing corner of London - the good weather last week enabled us to enjoy the indoor/outdoor vibe and take full advantage of the food truck catering options!  Why is this conference topic particularly interesting? I'm a big believer in the potential of IoT empowered business models, but I'm also a passionate advocate of the need to apply the right attention to security in IoT applications. While I'm most often talking in the context of [device level security](https://htmsolutions.biz/lp-yoga) (the things) - through conferences like this - and my clients at HTM Solutions - I'm get a very much broader view of the current state of the cloud services industry and how they are attacking the infrastructure needed to ensure a safe and secure path for growth in the IoT space. Special mention here to fellow speakers  [Tony Shakib](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tony-shakib-43a0482/)  from Microsoft Azure,  [Mike Nelson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-nelson-70b408/) from Digicert and [Darron Antill](https://www.linkedin.com/in/darronantill/)from Device Authority for their authoritative voices in this space. My thanks also to the other speakers and panelists in this track for keeping things lively for the attendees - and providing some new thoughts and ideas I'll perhaps pick up to comment on in future posts.
