In Response to the Department of Commerce’s “Green Paper”

The Department of Commerce's "Green Paper" aims to foster the advancement of the Internet of Things by addressing key issues and challenges in its deployment. The document highlights potential benefits and challenges, as well as the role the US Government should play in this evolving landscape. To support this initiative, a coalition of companies including Rapid7, Duo Security, and others has submitted comments recommending that IoT device and software providers adopt coordinated vulnerability disclosure and handling processes for their products. These recommendations aim to improve overall security while protecting security researchers and promoting voluntary adoption of such processes.
