Consumer IoT Security: Regulation, Obligation and Opportunity

Recorded Thursday 15 July

What's this webinar about?

With UK government announcing proposed regulation for consumer IoT products for the end of the year, there is a need for manufacturers to take ownership of security in their smart and connected products. While a good thing for the consumers, many manufacturers may find this obligation tough to adhere to.

Wherever you are in the product design process, and whether you are an importer, manufacturer, or OEM supplier, there are obligations you need to understand, and new responsibilities to build trust with your partners, investors, and customers.

So, what should you be doing now to build a path to compliance and even differentiation in a highly competitive, and soon to be regulated marketplace?

With years of experience in supporting manufacturers demonstrate security in their products and processes even in the absence of standards, our experts and panel through this webinar will help you,

• understand intended regulation,
• explore what is involved from your perspective,
• see all levels of conformity from minimal compliance to differentiation,
• and support you on your journey to safe and secure consumer IoT products
