ioXt Alliance, the global standard for IoT security, announced that it is expanding its ioXt Certification Program with a new profile for Network Lighting Controls (NLC), allowing manufacturers to certify commercial lighting systems with wirelessly connected parts.

Industry-leading tech companies and global manufacturers certified more than 195 IoT devices and mobile applications, advancing security and bringing transparency to consumers.

The ioXt Alliance announced that 60 Android devices to date from Google, HMD Global, Lenovo, Motorola, TCL, Xiaomi, and Zebra Technologies are now certified through the ioXt Certification Program. These certifications were granted after meeting rigorous standards as part of the ioXt Alliance’s Android Profile, furthering efforts to improve the security of IoT and other connected devices running on one of the world’s most popular operating systems.

From their inception, PCs, industrial systems, and all manner of computing devices were designed as individual points of compute. As a result, security was never top of mind.
