What Foundational Cybersecurity Activities for IoT Device Manufacturers requires
This publication provides recommendations for manufacturers to improve the securability of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices they create. Many IoT devices lack cybersecurity capabilities that customers can use to mitigate risks. Manufacturers can assist customers by providing necessary cybersecurity functionality and related information. This document outlines six recommended foundational cybersecurity activities for manufacturers to consider before their devices are sold. These activities aim to lessen the cybersecurity efforts required by customers, thereby reducing the prevalence and severity of IoT device compromises and subsequent attacks. The core obligation for manufacturers is to carefully consider which device cybersecurity capabilities to design into their products for customers to use in managing their risks. The primary audience is IoT device manufacturers, but the content may also be useful for IoT device customers seeking to understand available device cybersecurity capabilities and the information manufacturers might provide.
