As the Internet of Things (IoT) market grows, consumers expect basic security standards to protect their safety. IoT devices have significant access to user data – whether it's provided directly by the user, networked with other data-processing software or hardware, or collected through voice and/or camera technology – making them attractive targets for criminals and exploitative businesses.
CHOICE welcomes the contribution of the Internet of Things Alliance Australia (IoTAA) to this consultation and supports their vision of balancing innovation in the IoT market with building trust with consumers. CHOICE supports a number of positions of the IoTAA with additional comments as needed in the submission linked below.
