The EU will Develop New Things Safety Regulations

The European Commission announced that it will develop new networking equipment safety specifications. The new regulation is part of the EU telecom law reform plan. There had been warnings, a lot of things networking security protection is inadequate, or even no security. Therefore, the EU put forward this proposal, plans to adopt more stringent regulatory norms to address security issues.

The European Commission encourages companies to create labeling systems for approved, secure Internet of things devices, said Katharine. EU legislators hope to enact laws and regulations to compel companies to comply with safety standards, through a multi-pronged certification process to ensure the privacy of things security, eliminate security threats.

The most recent threat is the so-called "Mirai" powerful malware that infects the world's physical network devices. Network security intelligence company Flashpoint released an analysis report that the main problem is that even if the Internet of Things users to change the default certificate, you can still penetrate the device through the Internet. Flashpoint spokesman said the problem is that users of such equipment can not change the password. The password is written in the firmware in death, there is no lifting of the password tool, the screen can not even see these certificates. This is also the problem of various networking devices, users still use the default user name and password, making it easy to become the target of network threats. It is not enough to focus on a single part of the Internet says Tibor Kleiner, deputy director of the office of the European Digital Economy Commissioner Gunther Ettinger. We need to focus on the entire network, the cloud, and the government framework to be certified.
