IoT Security: Sen. Warner’s Letter to IoT Manufacturers
With more IoT devices in homes and businesses, is Washington finally ready to address the security of these devices?
With Gartner projecting 5.8 billion IoT endpoints in use this year, Palo Alto Networks research indicates that 57% of IoT devices are vulnerable to attack. These findings should come as a bleak warning that, as millions and millions of Americans are working remotely during the [HHN] and relying wholly on their home networks and personal devices, IoT security is now more critical than ever.
[Our Thoughts]: we think that people should consider the letter, but also the effects either way. This applies to both producers and consumers alike.
