The U.K. government has unveiled a proposed law aimed at securing internet of things (IoT) devices. The proposed law comprises three main mandates for IoT manufacturers. Manufacturers must provide a public point of contact so that anyone can report a flaw, to be acted on in a timely manner and, manufacturers must also explicitly state the minimum length of time for which devices will receive security updates at the point of sale. Security experts like Ken Munro applauded the proposed law.
