US Congress passes new IoT cybersecurity law
In response to high-profile data breaches and security warnings from the technology industry and independent agencies alike, members of U.S. Congress have been working for years to address security concerns involving Internet-of-Things devices.
Congress recently made significant progress toward greater IoT security in the United States when it enacted the Internet of Things Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2020, which entered into force Dec. 4, 2020. Although the new IoT cybersecurity law focuses primarily on the procurement of IoT technology and products by the federal government, it has the potential to create a more uniform IoT security standard across the private sector.
