Bipartisan legislation aims to boost IoT security resources

News briefs: A proposal by two U.S. senators would have the FCC launch a website aimed at educating consumers on keeping their connected devices secure; and more news.
  • Written by Courtney Bjorlin
  • 16th December 2017

Two U.S. senators are proposing that the Federal Trade Commission launch a website to educate consumers on how they can make their connected devices more secure. The Internet of Things Consumer Tips to Improve Personal Security (IoT Consumer TIPS) Act would include information on, for instance, the scope of security support from a vendor post purchase, how to set up a device, the use of passwords and available security, as well as security services, tools or platforms that may help consumers manage connected devices. The website would include a device-by-device rundown of vendor security support, according to coverage in The Hill. “Consumer trust in the security of the Internet of Things is paramount to the leadership and competitiveness of the United States in the global digital economy,” the bill states.

Energy companies struggle to ensure secure IoT deployments

Energy companies are struggling with robust security procedures needed to successfully deploy IoT solutions, according to research conducted by Vanson Bourne for mobile satellite communications company Inmarsat. The survey found that more than half of the 100 large energy companies interviewed do not have the skills and understanding required to combat the security risks associated with IoT, according to a press release. The research also found 53 percent of energy businesses identified a need to make heavy investments to meet both physical and digital IoT security requirements, and more than half reported that they needed additional digital skills in security to deliver successful IoT projects.

Notable among the government initiatives is the launch of 5G services in 2020, to “offer ultra-high speed and high capacity, support device-to-device ultra-reliable/low-latency communications, and enable massive machine-to-machine communications for better implementation of the Internet of Things,” according to the coverage.

Smart cars could spot, help fix potholes

Connected cars in England could be programmed to spot potholes and automatically transmit the information to the government to schedule a repair, according to coverage in FleetNews.
