Researchers at Carleton University in Canada have counted 1,014 IoT security guidelines. 91 percent of best practices were not explicit best practices to be followed but rather desired outcomes. Guidelines often focused on outcomes, rather than how to secure passwords, which is actionable.

Researchers: “If we can be consistent on a strong implementation of some security feature, the things that we are recommending are stronger””]
