IoT Device Nutrition Labels
Computing & IoT devices need to have a few things printed on the box:
- Support EoL date
- Patch schedule
- What works without internet connectivity
- What requires internet connectivity to work
- List of all {domains|IPs}:{ports} required for each network connection
- List of protocols used for each external connectivity
- 2FA standards supported
- How new firmware is updated – USB flashing, network load, something else
Think of those items as the Nutrition Label on boxed foods.
What is missing from the Label?
