Industry good practices – what are they and where to find them

There isn't really an OWASP top 10 for hardware but there are some for very closely related subjects that we can actually rely on for reference. Let's have a look at these different standards so that you are aware of them and can select the ones that are the most adequate for your project. Depending on the specific device, one or more standards can apply. This has to be discussed with the client, but you can always refer to them as good practices!

Different verticals (or industries) have different standards for security, safety, and sometimes both. Let's have a look at the most common one (that is, a device targeted at the consumer market): the OWASP IoT top 10, which is very often the default standard framework you can use in most cases.
