The regulation outlines essential security features to strengthen protection against unauthorized access and data breaches, including:
Unique default passwords per device
Strong authentication and user verification systems
Ongoing vulnerability assessments and regular firmware/security updates
Encrypted sessions and secure communication channels
Controlled interface and port access management
Personal data protection measures
Secure application-level software design
Resilient system recovery mechanisms
Implementation Timeline
