“While consumers have long called for better device security and privacy protections, we understand that retailers are now putting tremendous pressure on consumer tech to ensure the IoT products they put on their shelves are secure,” said Brad Ree, CTO of the ioXt Alliance. “With significant revenue on the line, companies are recognizing the need to provide transparency and assurance to those using or selling their products. We are proud to be the organization that Google, T-Mobile and other big players in the industry are increasingly relying on to thoroughly test and certify products as secure, no matter the type of device.”
“Transparency about the security ‘ingredients’ in connected devices acts as a tide to raise all boats, helping users make better decisions and the world realize the potential of the Internet of Things,” said Dave Kleidermacher, Google VP of Engineering, Android Security and Privacy. “The over 200 members of ioXt have built a comprehensive, scalable security compliance program to realize that vision.”
