By\u00a0Danny Palmer\u00a0<\/a>– Four out of five\u00a0Internet of Things (IoT<\/strong>) device manufacturers<\/a>\u00a0are failing basic cybersecurity practices by not providing a way for people to disclose security vulnerabilities in their products \u2013 something that can potentially put users of the device at risk of cyberattacks and breaches of privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research by the IoT Security Foundation<\/a>\u00a0(IoTSF) \u2013 a tech industry group that aims to help encourage securing the\u00a0Internet of Things<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 analysed hundreds of popular IoT product manufacturers and found that only just over one in five advertise a public channel for reporting security vulnerabilities in order for them to be fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 21% of vendors offering this kind of channel has risen slightly since last year, something that the IoT Security Foundation report describes as “glacial” progress on providing what it describes as “a basic hygiene mechanism”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s despite countries around the world including\u00a0the UK<\/a>,\u00a0the US,<\/a>\u00a0Singapore, India and\u00a0Australia<\/a>\u00a0as well as\u00a0the European Union<\/a>\u00a0attempting to emphasise the importance of cybersecurity in IoT devices and the ability to be able to make vulnerability disclosures.
