It is fall season in the northern hemisphere, spring season in the southern and time for a new edition of Microsoft Ignite!
If you have not yet registered for the free virtual event, you can do so at https://myignite.microsoft.com.
As you navigate through the many sessions and opportunities to connect with Microsoft's product teams, you will want to build yourself some learning path, and if you are interested in learning more about IoT, here are some pointers to help you out.
Below is the list of all the IoT related content featured at the event. As you will notice this edition is focused on roundtables to give you an opportunity to not just learn about the latest in IoT technologies at Microsoft but also to provide feedback, share what your needs and pain points are to the teams developing the next generation of IoT tools and services.
| Title | Type | Speakers | Description |
| Developing AI Edge modules on Windows for IoT devices | Product Rountables | , | Linux is often used for AI modules but the hurdle is the management of the devices in the infrastructure. What if you could use the best of both of them? Join the Azure EFLOW team to provide feedback and input on developing IoT Edge Modules, what types of devices you want to create, features you think we should add |
| Deploy IoT Solutions with Azure SQL Database | Connection Zone | , | Many organizations are investing in IoT to increase operational efficiency, deliver better customer experiences, increase levels of security, enhance workplace safety, and reduce costs. This session will introduce how Azure SQL Database provides a price-performant backend, including templates that simplify deploying and configuring IoT solutions for any scenario. |
| IoT in manufacturing | Product Roundtables | , Jehona Morina, Sean Parham, Ranga Vadlamudi, David Walker | Tell the Azure IoT engineering team about your experiences with connected devices in manufacturing settings. We'll share some materials on which we'd like your feedback. Your insights will help inform investments for upcoming releases |
| IoT devices are typically an organizations weakest security link. Help us prioritize features to help strengthen your IoT security posture | Product Roundtables | Yossi Basha, , | Attacks on Enterprise IoT devices are increasing and it’s no wonder. IoT devices are not designed with security in mind like you’ll find with nearly ever every other traditional type of endpoint (workstations, servers mobile devices). In addition, the ability to monitor such devices is limited due to the lack of a deployable agent that can perform configuration management (e.gf.: settings and patching) and internal security monitoring using high fidelity endpoint signals. In this session, we are seeking your feedback so that we can learn and properly prioritize the roadmap for delivering IoT security capabilities to the Microsoft Defender suite. |
| How to Develop a Security Vision and Strategy for Cyber-Physical and IoT/OT Systems | Breakout | , Katell Thielemann | Recent ransomware attacks that halted production for a gas pipeline operator and food processor have raised board-level awareness about IoT and Operational Technology (OT) risk. Security leaders are now responsible for new threats from cyber physical systems (CPS) and parts of the organization they never traditionally worried about. Join Katell Thielemann from Gartner® to discuss how to develop a CPS risk strategy using the “language of the business” to show security as a strategic business enabler.
