California governor signs country’s first IoT security law – CNET
Brown signed the bill, SB 327, on Friday. The law mandates that any maker of an Internet-connected, or “smart,” device ensure the gadget has “reasonable” security features that “protect the device and any information contained therein from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure.”
In June, California passed a data-privacy law that some have called the country’s toughest. It includes stopping the collection and sale of personal data upon request from consumers. The new IoT rule, however, has garnered mixed reviews.
