CTIA Accepting Devices Into Cybersecurity Certification Program

CTIA said it’s accepting devices for IoT cybersecurity certification that connect to a carrier network, to validate if they meet security requirements. “The program protects consumers and wireless infrastructure, while also creating a more secure foundation for smart cities, connected cars, mHealth and other IoT applications,” CTIA said Tuesday. Things are headed "toward an increasingly connected future” including appliances, cars and watches, said Chief Technology Officer Tom Sawanobori.
