Background
With the rapid development of IoT technology, humanity has entered the “Era of Everything Connected”. Consumer IoT products such as home cameras, routers, smart displays, translators, VR glasses, smart robots, and smart speakers provide convenience to users, but the potential security vulnerabilities can threaten user information, property, and even personal safety. IDC predicts that by 2025, the global IoT market size will reach $1.1 trillion, and the number of global IoT connections will reach 25.1 billion, maintaining a growth rate of over 12%.
Many countries or organizations are gradually making cybersecurity a mandatory requirement. For example, the UK will enforce the PSTI Act for directly or indirectly connected products on April 29, 2024; starting August 1, 2025, the EU will mandatorily add cybersecurity-related clauses as part of the RED certification. Recently, the European Parliament voted to pass the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) to protect all digital products in the EU from cyber threats. Among them, IoT products are an important component of the “digital products” covered by this act, and they will face new requirements after its implementation. To purify the IoT network environment and protect users’ personal privacy rights, manufacturers of IoT terminal devices in our country must prepare in advance and enhance the security shield for their products going abroad by obtaining cybersecurity certification!
