IoT Security Rating System Keeps Smart Products Safe

As new smart features and internet connections are added to products, manufacturers and developers are angling for ways to show they’ve taken precautions to secure and protect their internet-connected devices. One way to provide assurance to end-users is to demonstrate security best practices and third-party assurance. This is where global safety certification provider UL steps in with its new security verification and labeling solution, designed to help consumers steer clear of privacy-invasive software and cajole manufacturers that view privacy and security as an afterthought. Known as IoT Security Rating, the solution helps manufacturers and developers demonstrate the security due diligence of their products by leveraging security best practices and rating the product’s “security posture.”
