## Summary

Grace Burkard, Director of Operations at the ioXt Alliance, explains the organization's mission to provide a global standard for IoT security through its certification program. She details the two certification paths—third-party lab testing and self-attestation—and the importance of harmonized standards to help manufacturers navigate fragmented regulatory landscapes. Burkard highlights challenges such as the lack of global standard recognition and the evolving threat landscape, emphasizing the need for continuous firmware updates and ecosystem-wide security.
