IoT Expert Witnesses
Internet of Things (IoT) expert witness candidates typically have backgrounds in smart products technology, software engineering, computer science, digital forensics, mobile devices, cloud computing, computer engineering, and have specialized knowledge in IoT device or smart device technology.
The Internet of Things describes objects, embedded with sensors and software, that are able to connect with other devices and systems. IoT can use many technologies, including real-time computing, machine learning, and embedded systems, wireless networks, and robotics. Smart technologies are driven by IoT, and concerns over privacy and cybersecurity are real issues with ongoing research.
In addition to consumer applications, the healthcare world has embraced IoT for numerous purposes including remote health monitoring, smart hospital beds, and connected health devices. The transportation industry uses IoT technology for smart traffic control, electronic toll collections, fleet management, vehicle safety, and road assistance. Manufacturing, agriculture, military, and energy industries also benefit from IoT.
Often, matters requiring internet of things expert witness work involve intellectual property matters such as patent infringement or trade secret litigation. Expert witness services by an internet of things expert could include reverse engineering, expert report, expert opinion, and/or trial testimony. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, an attorney may require a testifying expert with prior expert witness testimony experience. In addition, clients often seek an industry expert for pre-litigation consultant work.
While many experts have IoT expertise, an expert witness carries the additional responsibility of providing expert testimony before the court in a manner whereby jurors can understand the technology and digital evidence.
