Regulatory sandbox, indigenous security ecosystem in MeitY plan

The government is likely to prescribe a regulatory sandbox for the “functional security and validation” of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices and work towards developing an “indigenous security ecosystem” for the cybersecurity of such devices.

Additionally, it is also likely to push for the development of “indigenous tools for protecting and securing mobile apps”. For IoT devices, the IT ministry will also work with working groups to continuously update policies regarding the security of such devices.
