Who’s afraid of the IoT? IoTAA Security Guideline
By Joshua Fisher and Michael Swinson King & Wood Mallesons’ Melbourne office.
The “internet of things” or “IoT” may be the defining technology buzzword of our age. Certainly just about every technologist is busy explaining how the IoT will revolutionise the ways in which businesses work and societies function.
Yet, as IoT systems and devices proliferate, so do the security implications. While many benefits of the IoT can only be realised by expanding the ecosystem of interconnected IoT devices, this can also be one of its greatest flaws; networks are only secure as their weakest link.
Many readers will already be familiar with some of the more famous examples of IoT vulnerability, such as the demonstration at the 2015 Black Hat of taking control (remotely) of a Jeep Cherokee travelling at over 110kph or the recent incident when IoT-connected CCTV video cameras and DVR players were used to facilitate one of the largest internet denial of service attacks in history. However, despite the high level of awareness of these security issues, industry is yet to take a coordinated approach to dealing with these matters.

W&I insurance for Chinese investors in Germany
By Dr. Sandra Link, LL.M. King & Wood Mallesons’ Frankfurt office.
During the last years, the number of Chinese outbound transactions to Germany have increased considerably and reached a record high in 2016. M&A transactions are quite complex processes, presenting a wide range of potential pitfalls for both buyers and sellers. Often, Chinese investors are not familiar with the particularities of the European market. Against this backdrop, the need to mitigate transactional risk is increasing in particular for Chinese investors.
The use of Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) insurance, has become commonplace in the US and European M&A markets over the last years. Whilst the product is less well-known in the Chinese market, the gap is starting to close and a leading W&I insurer has already established a Chinese desk in Germany to meet the special needs of Chinese clients. With SASAC having emphasized the importance of risk insurance in the context of outbound investments for SOEs in their regulation of 7 January 2017, we expect the importance of W&I insurance for Chinese outbound M&A to further increase.
