As a novel computing platform in network,  IoT will bring  many security challenges to enterprise networks, and create new opportunities for security industry.  This talk will provide a general overview of  enterprise network security problems, especially the data security, caused by IoT.  After that, a few existing security technologies are evaluated  as necessary elements of  a holistic  network security that cover IoT devices.  These technologies include : (a) IoT security monitoring and control; (b) FOTA for firmware vulnerability management; (c) NetFlow based big data security analysis.  In the end,  the practice of standard security protocols (such as OpenIoC and IODEF) will be strongly advocated for delivering effective IoT  security solutions.

Learning Objectives:
• What  IoT security problems and challenges are.
• A few existing security technologies.
• How to apply these security technologies to IoT security.
• Why standard security protocols are important for best practice.

Difference data is generated between a reference file and a target file that are orderly dependent having common blocks that appear in the same order in both the reference and target files. The difference data is generated by comparing hash values of chunks of the reference file against hash values of parts of the target file to identity copy operations between the reference and target files. Chunks of the reference file and parts of the target file are loaded into main memory to create hashes for comparison and unloaded from the main memory after exhaustion. The difference data is included in a difference file, which is provided to one or more endpoint computers. In an endpoint computer, the target file is reconstructed using a copy of the reference file and the difference data from the difference file.
