Beijing, Nov. 12, 2021: Consumer electronics and smart manufacturing company Xiaomi Corporation has been given a top rating for its IoT security by the Internet of Things Security Foundation (IoTSF).
Xiaomi participated in the IoTSF 2021 Virtual Conference, a global event on November 3 and 4 that focused on IoT cybersecurity. Xiaomi, which as the world’s largest consumer AIoT platform, shared its insights on IoT security. During the event, IoTSF released a report which showed that Xiaomi was among the best companies implementing vulnerability disclosure policies, according to a company press release.
IoTSF was formed in 2015 in response to growing threats to IoT applications. It has over 100 members, including ARM, Cisco, BSI, Mastercard and Xiaomi. The IoTSF 2021 Virtual Conference was the seventh annual conference held by IoTSF.
John Moor, co-founder and Managing Director of IoTSF, said, “The mission of IoTSF has always been to help make IoT products safe to connect. As part of that mission, we’ve raised awareness and called upon IoT vendors to adopt a security-first approach and pay more attention to the growing number of IoT security threats. Xiaomi is a good example of a responsible vendor responding to that call and is a good example of a company taking security best practice seriously. Xiaomi has been active in demonstrating its commitments – for example publishing a Vulnerability Disclosure Policy since 2019 and being transparent in how its teams adhere to the principle of security at all stages of the product life cycle.”
