An online platform designed to help IoT vendors receive, assess, manage and mitigate vulnerability reports has been launched by the IoT Security Foundation (IoTSF). VulnerableThings.com aims to simplify the reporting and management of vulnerabilities whilst helping IoT vendors comply with new consumer IoT security standards and regulations.

What happens when someone discovers a security issue in a connected product? How do security researchers and others report a security issue? To gain better visibility into the current status of vulnerability disclosure practice in consumer companies providing connected products, the IoT Security Foundation (IoTSF) commissioned a research study.

A new whitepaper that outlines the benefits that accrue by taking a hub-based approach to connecting IoT devices and systems in the home has been released by The IoT Security Foundation (IoTSF). ‘IoT Security Architecture and Policy for the Home – a Hub Based Approach’ puts the onus on OEMs and router manufacturers to ensure security and interoperability worries are allayed for consumers when connecting to their home WiFi. 

It has been announced today that a collaborative initiative has been established to respond to rising concerns over security in the IoT. The Internet of Things Security Foundation (IoTSF) will publically launch on 23rd September at the Digital Catapult in London.
