The United Kingdom (UK) Government has proposed a new law which, when passed, will entail all Internet of Things (IoT) consumers will need to adhere to specific security requirements, under new government proposals.
The aim is to help protect UK citizen and businesses from the threats posed by cyber criminals increasingly targeting IoT devices.
Writing about it on the UK Govt Website, Matt Warman MP, Minister for Digital and Broadband, Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, said about the proposed UK IoT law, “We are advocating a robust and staged approach to enforcing these principles through regulation – starting with ensuring stronger security is built into products. But we will not stop there. When appropriate, we will advocate for further requirements to be mandated. I hope that this staged approach will provide manufacturers with sufficient time to implement the proposals effectively and sustainably.”
