Markey, Lieu Reintroduce Bill for Certifying Security of IoT Devices

Sens. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., reintroduced legislation Tuesday for “a voluntary cybersecurity certification program” for IoT devices (see 1802150034). Their Cyber Shield Act (see 1710270043) “will give consumers a seal of approval for more secure products, as well as encourage manufacturers to adopt the best cybersecurity practices so they can compete in the marketplace for safety,” Markey said.
