Now, governments are acknowledging the threat these popular technologies create. In late September, California passed a law regulating the security of internet-enabled devices sold in the state. While many see it as a step in the right direction, others think the law doesn’t go far enough to secure these technologies.
The new law will affect any smart device sold in California, including consumer and enterprise tools. Starting Jan. 1, 2020, manufacturers of connected devices will have to include “reasonable security” features to protect stored or transmitted information from “unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure.”
