Project poster

Consumers are buying IoT devices without understanding their security and privacy implications. Traditional mainstream reviews only showcase device features. Consumers remain uninformed about security, but The Smart Guide hopes to change this. Our solution is a buyer’s guide for smart home devices. It helps consumers make an informed decision based on feature, price, and most importantly security. By factoring in cybersecurity in the rating of a product we hope to drive consumers to purchase safer smart home devices in a smarter way.
