The U.S. governor has signed California’s SB 327 on the date of 28th September 2018, as a first law for authorizing the Internet of Things or IoT device manufacturing security provisions. The law states that the IoT device manufacturers should provide reasonable security features such as unique programmed device passwords or embedding functions that create a more secure medium to the users before they access the device for the first time use.
Tech giants like Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Samsung are developing so many “smart” connected devices, which have efficient technological systems to quickly provide a solution for the security problems faced by the devices such as cybersecurity threats.
