Expanding the UK Secure by Design proposal for a usable consumer-focused IoT security label / MATHEW ESTIENNE

Swansea University Author: MATHEW ESTIENNE

Abstract

No person whom has any knowledge of security in the Internet of Things (IoT) would claim the current landscape is desirable, as exceedingly poor security of devices is routinely exhibited in an ecosystem experiencing exponential growth of devices. If these devices follow past trends in Cyber Securit...
