Without regulation, there is little hope companies will implement proper security protection measures for IoT devices, said author and security expert Bruce Schneier, during a panel discussion at the Aspen Cyber Summit. Schneier via a report by Shaun Nichols in The Register: “Looking at every other industry, we don’t get security unless it is done by the government. I challenge you to find an industry in the last 100 years that has improved security without being told [to do so] by the government. ... I don’t think people are going to say I’m going to choose my refrigerator based on the number of unwanted features that are in the device.”
