Smart Device Security: 178 countries ranked by smart device security requirements 

Despite its relatively recent inception (2008/2009), the Internet of Things (IoT) industry is one of the fastest-growing markets in the world. The number of IoT-connected devices exploded from 15.4 billion in 2015 to 75.4 billion in 2025, but smart device security hasn’t always been a priority as manufacturers scramble to release devices as quickly as possible.

Related to this, Comparitech researchers have released a study to answer the following questions: 

  1. Where in the world are smart devices the most and least secure?
  2. Which countries protect consumers and smart device users through adequate legislation and labeling?
  3. And which countries have the highest number of vulnerable internet-exposed devices?
