About the research
This new research explored consumer perceptions and attitudes towards trust, security and the privacy of consumer IoT devices.
The survey of consumers in Australia, Canada, France, Japan, UK and the US aimed to find out what matters most to consumers when buying connected devices, and who is responsible for better privacy and security.
A high number of consumers think that privacy and security standards should be assured by regulators (88%), followed by manufacturers (81%) and championed by retailers (80%).
