5 Trends That Are Changing IoT Cybersecurity
It’s not surprising that in light of the rapid adoption of IoT devices, which is expected to hit 13.8 billion this year, the security implications are rapidly evolving. In this blog we look at the cybersecurity developments that have grown out of the rapid adoption of IoT. All of it – the good, the bad and the ugly, and how we expect they will change the way we use and secure IoT devices.
A recent Executive Order released by the Biden Government has tasked the Director of NIST to develop a labeling program that educates the consumer public on the security capabilities of IoT devices. NIST is determining the criteria of grade levels that correspond to increasingly comprehensive cybersecurity that has gone into testing and developing a connected product. Manufacturers, brands, and developers will be incentivized to participate as the labeling program will change the way people shop for smart products, similar to how they shop for energy-efficient products.
The pandemic impacted the IoT arena in different ways, some times for good, many times not, but almost always unexpectedly.
