Yesterday the Senate passed HR 1668, the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2020, by unanimous consent. The bill was passed in the House in September and alert readers will recall that the version voted upon in the House was not the version reported out of Committee. The bill now goes to the President for signature. There have been no indications from the White House about how President Trump intends to deal with this bill.
As I mentioned in my
earlier post, it seems to me that this is more of an IT security bill than
an IoT security bill, other than for the requirement for GAO to report on “broader
Internet of Things efforts, including projects designed to assist in managing
potential security vulnerabilities associated with the use of traditional
information technology devices, networks, and systems” {§8(a)}.
