Good comments.
> The FCC recently issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking [2] for a cybersecurity labeling program for connected devices.
This sounds like it is intended for consumer products, and it also sounds optional. I would hope that users with a legitimate reason to do so (defense, enterprise) would have the capacity to not participate and forego the label.
- ryukoposting 3y agoThe line between "consumer product" and "enterprise/defense product" can be blurry. For example, event security teams may use their personal smartphones to communicate with medical staff. A lot of IoT companies (especially the startups) focus on the customers with the deepest pockets (enterprise and defense). If big-ticket customers demand this label, it generates a great deal of incentive for IoT companies to just say "to hell with it, we want that label on everything we make." In any case, the words "national security" are usually a good way to get the attention of a three letter ;)
