New Industry-Backed Iot Security Standards Aim To Improve Device Safety
ITPro, Tuesday, March 19th, 2024
New IoT security standards could make it easier to choose devices that are hardened against some of the most common vulnerabilities.
IoT covers pretty much any physical device which can be connected to a digital network. IoT devices like digital locks, smart speakers, home surveillance systems, and routers are increasingly common, but have frequently been flagged as at-risk to threat actors.
That poor security can create risks for the users of these devices, such as the wrong people being able to access their security webcam, and can risk opening a backdoor into their network.
