That must change, according to the National Institute for Standards and Technology, one of the nation’s oldest physical science laboratories and a part of the Department of Commerce.
“It is important that organizations understand their use of IoT because many IoT devices affect cybersecurity and privacy risks differently than conventional IT devices do,” according to a draft document released by NIST to collect insights on IoT issues from stakeholders during a public comment period set to close in October.
