Project No. TELWG_202_2024A Project Title Roundtable on IoT Cybersecurity Labeling Project Status Project in Implementation Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices are bringing new levels of convenience, functionality, and efficiency to the consumer ICT market. The rapid proliferation of IoT applications and products has made them attractive targets for threat actors. Efforts are evolving in several member economies for more robust security protocols for IoT devices. A dialogue focused on understanding various cybersecurity labeling schemes for IoT devices being considered in different economies would be a timely effort to promote best practices and standards development and adoption across APEC members. This dialogue would take place through research and a background paper, an in-person workshop for representatives and stakeholders from APEC economies and relevant institutions to promote engagement and knowledge sharing among officials and industry stakeholders on cybersecurity labeling for IoT devices, and a summary paper to present key takeaways from the event. The summary paper will be minimum 12 pages in length excluding annexes and is intended to be an APEC Publication. |
