The law governing Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the United States (US) is rapidly evolving. From industry specific guidelines for connected medical devices and autonomous vehicles, to more general standards such as the Internet of Things Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2020 (Federal IoT Law), state and federal level laws are quickly changing as it relates to IoT standards, introducing new challenges for emerging technologies and new use cases for manufacturers.
Much like other areas of the law, California has been a leader in developing standards around IoT devices. In 2017, California became the first state to adopt an IoT specific cybersecurity law known as the California Internet of Things Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2017 (California IoT Law).
