A recent bill introduced by Sen. Mark Warner
(D-Va.) is attempting to place heightened security standards on all
Internet of Things (IoT) devices procured by any federal agency.
Should the legislation be enacted, the expectations it sets forth
regarding the security of IoT devices could be interpreted by
courts as the minimal floor for any IoT product sold to the federal
government and, potentially, sold commercially.
Given IoT's increasing prevalence and importance in the life
sciences field, this legislation could have significant impact on
pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers. For more

"Pending Legislation Seeks to Secure Federal Government
IoT."
