Lawmakers in the U.S. government appear to be taking more of an interest in IoT security. It’s a topic of concern for the cybersecurity community, as increasingly more devices are connected to the internet, many with potentially invasive sensors and cameras. Many of these devices are operated by non-tech-savvy users who may not know how to maintain their own device security.
