As reported by Neowin, the UK government has announced the launch of a £400,000 fund to help boost the security of internet-connected products. Innovators will be able to apply to develop assurance schemes which demonstrate that a device has gone through independent testing or an accredited self-assessment process. The schemes will help consumers decide which products are the most secure. According to research that the government cited in its announcement, there will be more than 75 billion internet-connected devices around the world by the end of 2025.
