European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the introduction of a cybersecurity law for connected devices, Euractiv reports. "If everything is connected, everything can be hacked," von der Leyen remarked on the Cyber Resilience Act, adding the EU should "strive to become a leader" in cybersecurity despite "scarce" resources. Dutch Member of European Parliament Bart Groothuis said connected devices and the Internet of Things "bring about a great deal of unsecured products" and there's "no European standard yet to be upheld" on the matter.
