Meeting the mark | FCC proposes cybersecurity labeling program for IoT devices

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed a voluntary cybersecurity labeling program to address unique cybersecurity concerns associated with the growing number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Against the backdrop of the FCC’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), Scott Loughlin, co-lead of the Hogan Lovells Privacy and Cybersecurity practice, discusses with Hogan Lovells partners Ari Fitzgerald and Katy Milner the scope of the FCC’s proposed program (covering everything from mobile phones and computers to Internet-connected refrigerators, cars, and speakers) and how manufacturers of these devices should be thinking about the new requirements.
