At this time, products and services were limited, and buyer choices were almost non-existent. Fast-forward to 2019. Not only do I have access to hundreds of channels, HD TVs with more vibrant colors than reality; I also have access to a wide variety of options for almost any product or service I want to buy, both personally and professionally. We all have countless choices and more options than we could have ever imagined a few decades ago.

Article | February 10, 2020

The ease with which internet of things devices can be compromised, coupled with the potentially extreme consequences of breaches, have prompted action from legislatures and regulators, but what group is best to decide? Both the makers of IoT devices and governments are aware of the security issues, but so far they haven’t come up with standardized ways to address them.
