The IoT M2M Council and the Global Certification Forum have formed a Joint Task Force to evaluate the development of a certification program for the security of IoT deployments. The Joint Task Force is just getting started and there will be a regular series of online and in-person meetings to be held in 2025 (a detailed schedule is available). The objective of the group is to determine if such a certification program is possible, and if so, what its scope and timeline might be. Several principles for the JTF have thus far been agreed…
- In order to add real value, the program will cover not just devices, but also the network and cloud/app platform layers of the IoT stack.
- The program will make use of relevant, existing standards that are available in the public domain wherever appropriate.
- The program will be more practical and prescriptive than many currently available standards.
If you are interested in participating in (or getting more information about) this Joint Task Force, we ask you to register, below. Your information will be reviewed and responded to inside of one business week. All appropriate, interested parties are encouraged to join the JTF, while special consideration will be given to current GCF or IMC member companies.
