IFETEL Releases IoT Cybersecurity Analysis

The Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones (IFETEL) released the analysis “Ciberseguridad en los dispositivos de internet de las cosas (IoT)” on April 9, 2024. This document refers to the “code of best practices for IoT cybersecurity” and analyzed 348 IoT device manufacturers or brands sold in Mexico and approved by IFT with the finding that 8% of them do not provide any cybersecurity information about their products. Some of the reviewed brands did not provide any reference to information or user personal data security in the terms, conditions, or privacy warnings that accompany the products. In some cases, no information or web page about product security was available.

IFETEL would like to remind everyone that the appropriate cybersecurity against security threats implementation in IoT devices is very important because of risks associated with the failure or lack of device internet security that may severely impact end users' trust, privacy, and wallet.
