On January 1, 2020, California was the first state to enforce cybersecurity and loT related legislation. Oregon, New York and Massachusetts are following suit. California’s law is Title 1.81.26 “Security of Connected Devices” and mandates that we equip our products with security features that are appropriate to the nature and function of the device. By law, this encompasses all products that are assigned Internet Protocol addresses which can connect to the Internet directly or indirectly. Pathway Connectivity, a division of Acuity Brands, will only ship compliant devices regardless of the jurisdiction into which they are sold.
Pathway Connectivity Solutions® is part of Acuity Brands, a publicly-traded company and the largest lighting manufacturer in North America. Acuity takes these new laws and the potential threats very seriously and is committed to mitigating any harm to its customers. As a result, Pathway Connectivity products, are implemented with additional security features.
