ABSTRACT

“When one size solution doesn’t fit all”

With connected devices becoming more and more ubiquitous, attention is being focused both in the US, as well as globally on addressing the challenge, creating policy drivers that can accelerate the adoption of better practices, but can also lead to fragmentation of markets. NIST will discuss some of the drivers for IoT device security in the US, how the IoT security challenge is a global issue and how NIST is helping the US Federal government lead by example.
