“Standards make products cheaper and better”
The field of interest of the IEEE Consumer Technology Society is engineering and research aspects of the theory, design, construction, manufacture or end-use of mass-market electronics, systems, software and services for consumers. The Standards Committee develops standards covering the field of interest defined in the IEEE Consumer Technology Society Constitution.

“Poorly secured products threaten consumer’s privacy”
As more devices in our homes connect to the internet and as people entrust their personal data to an increasing number of services, the cyber security of the Internet of Things (IoT)has become a growing concern. Poorly secured products threaten consumer’s privacy, and some devices are exploited by attackers to: launch large-scale DDoS cyber-attacks, mine cryptocurrency and spy on users in their own homes.

“Cyber-Resiliency for Multi-faceted Internet of Things – IIoT/IoVT/IoMT”
The Consumer Internet of Things (CIoT) is an application-specific Internet of Things (IoT) for consumers, just as the Industrial Internet of Things ( IIoT) is for industry. There is overlap and convergence in applications between the two. In the consumer-oriented CIoT, it is consumer electronics devices and for room monitoring, as well as alarm and surveillance systems, plus lighting technology and building management systems.

“From Perimeter Security to Zero Trust - a modern approach to address current and future cybersecurity challenges”
IEEE CTSoc German Chapter Chair Log4Shell Vulnerability exploited in unpatched VMware Horizon Server CISA (CYBERSECURITY & INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY AGENCY) and the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) published a joint report on November 16, 2022, according to which Iranian-sponsored attackers allegedly successfully attacked the IT of a U.S. federal agency - exploiting a "Log4Shell" vulnerability in an unpatched "VMware Horizon" server. The attackers would have then installed crypto-mining software and moved laterally to the domain controller to compromise credentials.
“Consumer Technology Innovations For Better Life.”
External factors unrelated to technology that include a global pandemic and a war have influenced the development and applications of technology. As a result, the world has transformed itself and it continues to evolve and reinvent itself through technology. Technology is a key enabler to enable global transformation driven by comprehensive development, often called Megatrends.
Megatrends coalesce around multiple interacting or mutually dependent developments, last for a long time and have broad impacts not just to technology, but to business, society and the environment. Simply put, they impact all of humanity. This panel of technical experts will talk about some of the Megatrends of interest to attendees of IEEE ICCE.
The emphasis in this panel discussion will be on how these megatrends are changing consumer behavior and the ways consumers use technologies. Subject matter expert speakers will share their observations and experiences on the state-of-the art and future direction of consumer technologies.
