The BSA—also known as the Software Alliance, formerly the Business Software Alliance (which explains the acronym)—is an industry lobbying group. They just published “Policy Principles for Building a Secure and Trustworthy Internet of Things.”

  • Offering incentives for integrating security.
  • Harmonizing national and international policies.
  • Establishing regularly updated baseline security requirements
