The Online Trust Alliance analyzed publicly reported vulnerabilities for connected home and wearable technology products. They found that in each case, if device manufacturers and developers had implemented the security and privacy principles outlined in the OTA IoT Trust Framework, the vulnerabilities would not have occurred. OTA revealed its findings today at the American Bar Association’s 2016 Business Law Section Annual meeting in Boston. The OTA’s Trust IoT Framework is a global, multi-stakeholder effort to address IoT risks comprehensively. The framework includes a baseline of 31 measurable principles that OTA says device manufacturers, developers and policy makers should follow.”]
