Yesterday, a Winston & Strawn panel discussed the emerging U.S. and international laws aiming to regulate the Internet of Things (IoT) market. But stiffer regulations may pose challenges for IoT manufacturers that are still struggling to move security from an afterthought to a critical development element, panelists noted. 

The “Focus on Data Security by Design—Protecting Internet of Things (IoT) Devices & Emerging Technology” panel was held virtually during Winston & Strawn and Berkeley Center for Law & Technology’s “Disruptive Technologies Legal Summit.” Among other topics, the livestreamed event discussed the difficulties with implementing IoT cybersecurity controls.
