TechUK launches framework to build public trust in the IoT

Industry association techUK has launched a set of high level principles designed to help build public confidence in the internet of things (IoT), partly in response to a number of high-profile incidents that have seen IoT devices and sensors compromised and co-opted into botnets by cyber criminals. The programme, Trust Principles in an IoT World, is designed to serve as a simple framework for businesses and developers to create greater consumer confidence in the IoT and help it grow, said techUK.
