Scott Shackelford: Is IoT Going to be a Major Challenge for Global Cybersecurity?
Interviewee: Scott J. Shackelford, Executive Director, and Chair, Ostrom Workshop, and Indiana University-Bloomington Cybersecurity Program, USA PTC provides a coffee-break update to an emerging threat. Or is it an emerging opportunity? In the Internet of Things era, we may be hitting an inflexion point in the importance of cybersecurity. Billions of connected devices in smart homes, smart offices, smart factories, smart cars, and smart planes potentially mean billions of points of vulnerability. The systemic complexity has taken a leap forward with 5G, AI, and machine learning all in the mix. With the stakes so high, it’s no surprise that cybersecurity professional vacancies suggest they are in much more demand than nurses, according to some reports. In this podcast, Professor Scott J. Shackelford of Indiana University gives an overview of the problems, practices, and possibilities of what’s happening globally and discusses the outlook for the C-suite and the regulator alike, in an era where the risks have arguably become very real. International moves suggest policy makers and leaders are more concerned than ever about offensive and defensive action in cyberspace and the place of national sovereignty. But there seems little international consensus about what to do. In the meantime, what are the threats? What happens about protection? Can consumers trust service providers? What reassurance do they need? How should businesses in the ICT space respond? Are cybersecurity experts about to be “the helping profession of the 21st century?” How do we ensure that they have the right skill sets moving forward? The podcast covers: • The increasing urgency of the cybersecurity threat. • How far can consumers be aware? Should they be aware? How can they be aware? • In an era of IoT, what are the prospective regulatory and legal approaches in cybersecurity? • What advice should CEOs get? Could we see the end of cybersecurity as a cost center in business? • How can we train and capacity build professionals for the future? What should they look like? • What is the outlook for 2020? Scott J. Shackelford is an associate professor of Business Law and Ethics, Cybersecurity Program Chair, and director of the Ostrom Workshop Program on Cybersecurity and Internet Governance at Indiana University-Bloomington. He is the author of a series of books on cyberspace and its risks, including the upcoming The Internet of Things: What Everyone Needs to Know, Oxford University Press 2020.

Dave Wright: Does CBRS Hold Promise For The Future Of Spectrum Management?
Interviewee: Dave Wright, President, CBRS Alliance, USA What you will learn in this audiocast (18 min 40 sec): In a time of scarce spectrum resource, should we completely rethink how we use spectrum? Should we be focussing on spectrum sharing between different users and even different services? Should we likewise press for local licensing of key spectrum bands? The first stages of so-called democratization of spectrum usage may have already begun with the imminent deployment of CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) in the U.S. In this coffee break podcast from the PTC, we look at the prospects for CBRS and what many think is a radical approach in the spectrum community. CBRS usage has been allocated the 3.55GHz to 3.7GHz band by U.S. policymakers and is formulated as a three-tier system that categorizes users into different priorities. Proponents believe that many different types of users and applications will be able to take advantage of CBRS facilities, which use novel sharing and prioritization methodologies. The CBRS Alliance, an industry association of many entities participating in the CBRS space, believes that LTE-based solutions in the 3.5GHz band, utilizing shared spectrum, can enable both in-building and outdoor coverage and capacity expansion at massive scale. Moreover, according to the Alliance, migration to 5G services in this band is practical. Topics covered include: • The place and organization of CBRS • The role of the CBRS Alliance • What is the rationale for flexible approaches to spectrum management? • What happens to 5G in the CBRS band? • Are use cases established in CBRS? Are entities really willing to run their own networks? • Can CBRS practices be internationalized? • The near term outlook for CBRS Dave Wright, President, CBRS Alliance Dave is Director, Regulatory Affairs & Network Standards at Ruckus Networks. In addition to his role with Ruckus, Dave participates in a number of SDOs and ITOs and is currently the President of the CBRS Alliance. Dave is a champion of open spectrum, including both unlicensed and dynamic sharing frameworks, while acknowledging the vital role that all spectrum management regimes play in our increasingly wireless world. Dave began his odyssey in networking/telecom/mobile/wireless in the early ‘90s while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. He then transitioned to the commercial sector as a systems engineer. In the intervening years, he has spent much of his time in technical marketing, standards development, and policy advocacy. Dave is a Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE) Emeritus (#2062) as well as a Certified Wireless Network Administrator (CWNA).

Malcolm Johnson: Expectations for WRC-19
Interviewee: Malcolm Johnson, Deputy Secretary-General, International Telecommunication Union (ITU) In this PTC coffee break guide, our podcast deals with upcoming changes in spectrum and satellite orbital management around the world dealt with on a global level by a treaty level co-ordination process. The World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) is the bedrock intergovernmental meeting of the wireless sector. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) organizes the Conference which is typically convened on a four-yearly cycle. With 5G, IoT, vehicle to vehicle communications and other new technologies now arriving, WRC-19, to be convened in Egypt this year, comes at a particular important point in wireless platform development and has immense significance for how the wireless economy will develop. In this interview, Malcolm Johnson outlines the range, scope and importance of WRC-19 and gives an overview of what we might expect in terms of outcomes for WRC-19. Topics covered include: • The background to the World Radiocommunication Conference and the Radio Regulations • Major and highlighted topics for the WRC-19 agenda • Progress on the Digital Dividend • Towards greater harmonization?
