What makes IoT devices special, and warrants carve outs for security / vulnerabilities?
I guess I am not surprised there are security issues with these devices, because I think of most of them as coming from small companies, and wonder what the impact would be on the IoT space if only large players can work through more regulation.
That said, I can't decide if I am more concerned about my Wyze camera sending data where I don't want it to, than my water heater leaking it's current temperature (implicating whether I am home or not).
From the Cyber Trust Mark perspective, there's no inherent difference between a connected disposable gizmo and your example of the water heater. Personally, I would love to see a minimum cybersecurity commitment made by anyone who makes or sells anything with connectivity.
