New York S07269 mandates that manufacturers of connected devices incorporate reasonable security features.

New York S07269 amends the general business law to require manufacturers of connected devices to equip them with reasonable security features. These features must be appropriate to the device's nature, function, and the information it may collect, contain, or transmit. The security features must also protect the device and any information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. The bill does not apply to devices already subject to federal security requirements or to entities regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.
