Today the UK introduced what the Surveillance Camera Commission describes as ‘secure by default/secure by design’ minimum requirements for manufacturers of surveillance camera systems and components. These specifically address the issue of compromises of systems left live and internet-facing in an ‘unacceptable security configuration.’

Gillespie said, "If a device comes out of the box in a secure configuration, there’s a good chance it will be installed in a secure configuration. Encouraging manufacturers to ensure they ship their devices in this secure state is the key objective of these minimum requirements for manufacturers. [...]"

It remains to be seen if any other regulators of internet-facing devices also adopt minimum cyber-security requirements.
