The Task Force is proposing a new techno legal approach to IoT Security. It borrows ideas from how surveillance and security is done in the physical world and proposing similar concepts in cyberspace. The core idea is to adapt to the fact that with increasing usage of Cyberspace it is no longer a jungle but a ''series of cyber cities and cyber townships''. The standard of care required to protect a person or a house in a city is much less then in a jungle because there is a enabling legal and institutional support like the Police and [[wikipedia:Neighbourhood Watch (United Kingdom)|Neighbourhood Watch]] and bystanders and neighbors also pitch in to report suspicious activity and chase criminals. | The Task Force is proposing a new techno legal approach to IoT Security.

β | In physical spaces insecurity or vulnerability does not necessarily lead to attacks or safety concerns. For example a lady walking out of a theater may have a stranger snatch her purse and run away. A business man walking out of an office may be robbed. These can happen. However due to the governance of urban spaces these are less probable then in cyberspace. The probability of the criminal being caught and subjected to penalty are fairly high and discourage such attacks. If such attacks become frequent civil authorities will deploy more police and other technique like pervasive CCTV and frisking to telegraph a heightened security posture and frighten criminals away. These concepts seem to be missing in cyberspace. | + | In physical spaces insecurity or vulnerability does not necessarily lead to attacks or safety concerns.
