We've been having quite a discussion internally at IoTSF as to the technical nature of the exploits, the impact they
By C.J.Abate, Director of Marketing, SecureRF In the face of ever-increasing Internet of Things (IoT) security threats, the US government has started efforts to regulate IoT security with a new bill raised in the Senate.

While there are real consequences for neglecting IoT security, it’s a mistake to feel as though nothing can be done about it.
