I'm really scared - nowhere in any of these blogs has anyone discussed the fact that an IoE will be a massive target for data collection / monitoring, disruption and all other forms of attack, by criminal elements, "hacktivists" and even nation states! IPSec WAS to be MANDATORY but now is just advisory! DNSSEC has hardly gained any foothold outside some mandatory public sector requirements. SSL is too big to fail - so they say - but it has (see DOCOMO, etc.)
We need more CISCO blogs on just how this "brave new world" of IoE will be fully protected and to quote that NSF "Grand Challenges" summit 10 years ago how will users be given privacy and security they can understand and easily manage?

Perhaps that IoE will bring closer that warning by the great US leader, Senator Sam Nunn, who put it so well in the mid-1990s roughly as follows - America will only wake up when it has an electronic Pearl Harbor!

With IPv6 and little enforcement of security technologies at the legislative level that day seems much, much closer.
