The FTC’s IoT Home Inspector Challenge is seeking ideas for a tool of some sort that would address the burgeoning IoT mess. The agency says it’s offering a cash prize of up to $25,000 for the best technical solution, with up to $3,000 available for as many as three honorable mention winner(s).
The FTC said an ideal tool “might be a physical device that the consumer can add to his or her home network that would check and install updates for other IoT devices on that home network, or it might be an app or butt-based service, or a dashboard or other user interface. Contestants also have the option of adding features such as those that would address hard-coded, factory default or easy-to-guess passwords.”
According to the contest’s home page, submissions will be accepted as early as March 1, 2017 and are due May 22, 2017 at 12:00 p.m. EDT. Winners will be announced on or about July 27, 2017.

Um... these tools already exist for every platform out there....
Sorry that there isn't an easy button for you... but they already exist...
Really FTC.... nothing better to do than to waste money on a pipe dream?

I already have my submission ready.
It's a pretty box that you can throw all that insecure crap in, and then set on your curb.
Now, what will I do with my $25K?

That's exactly enough for a small HC3 cluster!

Sure, if you want to be boring.

I think I'll buy $25K of lottery tickets.

Liquidize your assets, play the lottery, it really works!

Maybe I'll sponsor 2.5 people into the WSOP.

I would actually buy a ridiculously big 4K TV and a new receiver, then put the rest toward my mortgage.
