World Economic Forum Reviews Building Trustworthy Consumer-Facing Connected Devices

Metro21 Executive Director Karen Lightman, representing President Farnam Jahanian on behalf of Carnegie Mellon University, worked with other members of the World Economic Forum's Trustworthy IoT Coalition to develop an agenda post which summarizes a review of frameworks, guides and tools to build trustworthy consumer-facing connected devices.

To encourage stakeholders to think more comprehensively about building trustworthy connected devices, members of the coalition conducted a review to identify model practices in the industry.  This preliminary review (of frameworks, guides and articles) shows that CIoT governance initiatives vary widely among business, government, civil society and academic organizations around the world.  To build consumer trust, alignment is needed for those stakeholders across the ecosystem.
