The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has introduced a complex landscape of security and privacy challenges. In response, regulatory bodies worldwide have begun to introduce initiatives such as the US Cyber Trust Mark, aiming to standardize and improve the security posture of IoT products. This talk, presented by Prianka Mandal, a PhD student at William & Mary, and advised by Professor Adwait Nadkarni, delves into the critical, yet often overlooked, human element of these efforts: the perspectives of IoT practitioners. The research explores how industry professionals perceive, practice, and experience IoT product security compliance and certification, shedding light on the practical hurdles and opportunities for enhancing device trustworthiness.
