Cyber Security for Consumer Internet of Things: Baseline Requirements outlines a set of foundational guidelines outlining the essential security measures that should be implemented in consumer Internet of Things (IoT) devices. These requirements would cover aspects such as data encryption, authentication mechanisms, secure firmware updates, protection against unauthorised access, and measures to prevent vulnerabilities and cyber threats.
It aims to address the most significant and widespread security shortcomings in consumer IoT devices, focusing on technical controls and organisational policies. While it doesn't cover every security challenge or protect against sophisticated attacks, it establishes a baseline level of security to mitigate elementary threats, such as those arising from weak passwords.
