Why do we need smart device security standards?
Smart devices are part of our everyday life, connecting our homes, workplaces and personal routines to help make life easier and more efficient. With this increased connectivity comes a greater need for strong, consistent security protections.
Smart device security standards help ensure that connected products such as routers, wearables, speakers and other internet enabled technologies are designed and maintained for customer privacy and security.
What are the minimum Smart Device Security Standards?
To make sure the smart devices we rely on are built to protect our privacy and remain resilient over time, the minimum security requirements manufacturers must meet include:
- secure default settings
- responsible software update practices
- clear information about how data is handled, and
- safeguards against common cyber security threats.
