answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text <p>Security of connected devices, the system they operate in and data is very important to consider in the Internet of Things. That is why security will be a theme throughout the government funded Internet of Things programme (IoTUK). We have included £10m for additional research to design in security, privacy and trust in IoT-related systems. In his report on the Internet of Things the Government Chief Scientist advised that security should be considered at the beginning and throughout the life cycle of Internet of Things applications. We have therefore made security a specific part of the competition scope for the large-scale demonstrator competitions.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 16/09/2015 14:07:30 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
