after a security researcher showed that the pump could be
accessed remotely over WiFi and allowed an attacker to

hospital networks97.
While there are numerous pilots and also several American

KEY FINDINGS
– Most initiatives have a generic focus, and applicationspecific initiatives (e.g. for automotive or healthcare) are
largely country- or region-specific.
– Most Standards Development Organisations (SDOs) have
initiated work on IoT Security standards.
– Most initiatives are industry-driven, and we observe a
lack of government involvement outside Europe.
– National or continental initiatives are centred on the
Americas or Europe; a global approach is lacking.
– Substantial initiatives with a broad security focus include
the Industrial IoT Consortium and the IoT Security
Foundation.
