Sen. Warner Urges Congress to Set IoT Cybersecurity Standard

Congress should set cybersecurity standards for IoT devices through federal procurement strategy, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., said. Saturday's comments (22:00) at the South by Southwest Conference were praised by Public Knowledge. Warner is “championing” the need for national cybersecurity strategy, citing his call to lawmakers to re-examine software liability terms, PK said. Between election meddling and social media manipulation, the U.S. has failed to protect against known weaknesses, which destroyed public confidence in technology, said Cybersecurity Policy Director Megan Stifel.
