He has reviewed for ICM, HOST, VLSI-SoC and been PC member for PAINE workshop.
Dr Franck Courbon has taken initiatives for cross-School vision and development. For instance, he provided an article on “Empowering trust and security from the hardware” for the launch of the Cambridge Trust and Technology initiative and he has been the first project advisor and supervisor from the Department of Computer Science and Technology for the ESPRC CDT in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (NanoDTC). He has supervised undergraduate and postgraduate students within the Department of Physics, Department of Engineering and the Department of Computer Science and Technology. He also initiated the
first MPhil. on Hardware Security at the Department of Computer Science and Technology.
He is leading an industry forum bringing technical solutions for secure and efficient electronics happening December 2021 in Churchill College, Cambridge, co-sponsored by IEEE.

About the IoTSF Conference 2021
The 7th Annual Internet of Things Security Foundation Conference is a two-day virtual event that takes place Wednesday 3rd and Thursday 4th November 2021. The Annual IoTSF Conference has built a loyal global following from the IoT stakeholder communities and is renowned for delivering high quality conference programmes.
The era of IoT describes the world as it transforms to be ever-digital and increasingly connected. Along with the power of digital comes the reciprocal cyber threat, and we continue to witness an increasing number of attacks enabled by products that lack protection against well-known exploits, have been badly configured or suffer from poor maintenance. This causes businesses to be hesitant, concerns governments, increases the likelihood of regulation and ultimately frustrates markets.
Vendors must build secure, purchasers must buy secure, and users must be secure: to be without security in a digital world is not an option. Society and industry need to fight back as no one should design, buy, or use a connected product, service or system that lacks fit-for-purpose security. Yet there are no ‘one-size fits all’ security solutions – they are dependent on the application. Most of the attacks we see today can be effectively defended against, many by relatively simple measures.
Organisations need to be informed, the solutions presented, choices made, and those choices need to be in keeping with their business context. Welcome to the 2021 IoT Security Foundation Virtual Conference where we aim to illuminate and educate delegates with an update on the threat landscape, standards & regulation, best practice, next-practice and the latest developments in IoT cyber security. The IoTSF Conference features talks by leading cyber security experts and track sessions for executives, developers, engineers, managers and security professionals.
2021 Conference Highlights
4 Themes
2 Days
30+ Keynote and Expert Talks
Why Attend
If you are:
- Developing a new Internet of Things (IoT) product or service
- Looking to purchase an IoT product or ‘smart’ connected solution
- Involved with a project which involves connected devices, sensors, actuators and networks
Then it is important to understand the risks, regulations and cyber security implications associated IoT systems and connected devices, as we are seeing an ever-increasing number and sophistication of cyber-attacks. These attacks, on systems and infrastructure, are being instigated by criminals; states actors; hactivists and malicious insiders. The resulting risk and damage to an organisation or individual can be considerable.
Join us at the IoTSF virtual conference to:
- Learn about the potential risks and vulnerabilities associated with IoT systems and connected devices
- Gain an understanding of IoT security best practice for the design of products and services
