HR 1668 Hearing – IOT Cybersecurity

This morning the House Oversight and Reform Committee will be holding a business meeting that will include the markup of HR 1668. Rep. Kelly (D,IL), the sponsor of the bill, is offering substitute language for the bill which is essentially a complete re-write. Changes include a complete rewrite of the definition of ‘covered device’ which specifically excludes a wide range of devices including {§2(2)(c)(iv)}:

Programmable logic controller with an industrial control system specifically not designed for connection to the internet [emphasis added].

I will have more on this revised language in a future blog post.
