As part of that mission, we've raised awareness and called upon IoT vendors to adopt a security-first approach and pay more attention to the growing number of IoT security threats. Xiaomi is a good example of a responsible vendor responding to that call and is a good example of a company taking security best practice seriously. Xiaomi has been active in demonstrating its commitments – for example publishing a Vulnerability Disclosure Policy since 2019 and being transparent in how its teams adhere to the principle of security at all stages of the product life cycle .
