Stay Smart. Stay Safely Connected.
IoT devices have become part of our daily lives and it is crucial that everyone is able to keep their devices secure. Manufacturers of IoT devices have a responsibility to design secure products but there are also some steps consumers can take to better protect their devices and information against cyberattacks. The Cybersecurity Tech Accord in conversation with Consumers International are working to raise awareness of the security risks from IoT devices and how consumers can try to stay protected. Cybersecurity Tech Accord has compiled this information repository to ensure consumers have more information about how to keep their IoT devices secure. We know that providing information and advice is just the first step on a journey to bring consumers and manufacturers of IoT devices closer together in an environment with strong standards and governance with the common aim of placing cybersecurity at the heart of technology and innovation.
