To fully realize those benefits, spurring consumer-based cybersecurity hygiene education and awareness outreach initiatives will help maximize the innovative, safety, and economic benefits of IoT connected devices. We applaud Senators Wicker and Hassan for their leadership and we look forward to working with them and their colleagues in Congress on this issue.”
