In this episode of Security Nation, Jen and Tod chat with David Rogers, CEO at Copper Horse Ltd., about the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) bill, a new piece of IoT security legislation in the UK. He runs through the new regulations that the bill includes for manufacturers of connected smart devices – including everything from home products to health devices – and details all the many steps it takes to get legislation like this signed into law.

Stick around for our Rapid Rundown, where Tod and Jen talk about the latest edition of Rapid7’s Vulnerability Intelligence Report, which covers all the need-to-know vulnerabilities from 2021, a year that began with SolarWinds and ended with Log4j (i.e. a VERY busy year for this sort of thing).
