The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently issued a strategy for securing the Internet of Things. This was in response to s string of attacks that demonstrate the vulnerability of internet connected "things" to hackers and the breach of information security and privacy.
The strategy is an important document and sets out a number of principles to be followed.
The first one, that security be included at the design stage, puts manufacturers on notice that the products they make must be more secure before they are sold. For a copy of the announcements and the Strategy, check out the DHS website.
