- Summary:
- Cyber threats to IoT--such as a recent cyberattack on a municipal water system--represent a significant national security challenge. The IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2020 includes provisions for (1) NIST and OMB to establish guidance for securely procuring IoT, and (2) 23 civilian federal agencies to implement IoT cybersecurity requirements. The act also requires OMB to establish a waiver process for those requirements. This report, the second of three, (1) describes guidance for securely procuring IoT, and (2) evaluates agencies' progress in addressing IoT cybersecurity and waiver requirements. GAO is making one recommendation to OMB and 10 to nine civilian agencies covered by the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2020 to address legislative requirements related to IoT.
