Statement of NCTA – The Internet & Television Association Regarding the Internet of Things Cybersecurity Improvement Act

“We applaud the President for signing into law the Internet of Things Cybersecurity Improvement Act. With potential security threats to networks always looming, maintaining stringent cybersecurity standards is a must to protect many business and government operations. Since the government is such a large purchaser and user of IoT devices, this new law will have an impact on IoT purchases by businesses and beyond. Many thanks to Senators Gardner and Warner, and Representatives Kelly and Hurd, for introducing this important legislation and navigating it through Congress.”
