Connectivity Standards Alliance debuts IoT product security standard
Summary
This project sets out to create a comprehensive IoT cybersecurity standard and certification framework, offering manufacturers a consolidated approach to certify their devices. The Product Security Working Group addresses this issue by amalgamating the key requirements from the leading IoT Cybersecurity frameworks of the United States, Singapore, and Europe into a single, streamlined specification and certification program. This initiative aims to establish a robust baseline for all consumer IoT devices,” said Steve Hanna of Infineon Technologies AG and Chair of the Product Security Working Group Steering Committee. Manufacturers are required to prove adherence to these mandates, providing detailed justifications and evidence to an Authorised Test Laboratory with a background in security assessments and a history of certifying products against this specification. Displayed on certified product packaging, in-store signage, and online platforms, this mark signifies a commitment to security, fostering consumer confidence.
