Safety evaluation system to strengthen cyber measures for “IoT” starts next year. Home appliances and industrial equipment connected to the Internet are becoming more and more popular.
The risk of cyberattacks based on suspicious communications is increasing, with 30% of all attacks targeting such devices. In response to a series of incidents in which video data from surveillance cameras is leaked due to external manipulation, the government has decided to start a new system to evaluate the safety of IoT products from next fiscal year.
