DoC’s Internet of Things Initiative to Catalog Existing Security Standards

This month, the U.S. Commerce Department's (DoC) National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced that it aims to catalog existing security standards through its Internet of Things (IoT) initiative. Ultimately, the multi-stakeholder process will serve to develop a broad, shared definition or set of definitions around security upgradability for consumer IoT, and help enhance consumer awareness and understanding related to IoT purchases and security.
