🛡️📱 U.S. Launches Cyber Trust Mark to Enhance IoT Device Security. The U.S. government has introduced the Cyber Trust Mark, a new cybersecurity label for consumer Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, aimed at addressing security vulnerabilities in smart products. Devices that meet stringent cybersecurity standards will display the label, accompanied by a QR code linking to a registry with essential security information, including support periods and update policies. The initiative, announced in July 2023, will involve third-party administrators and accredited labs for compliance testing. Eligible products include smart home devices like security cameras and fitness trackers, but exclude medical devices and certain regulated equipment. This program is designed to help consumers make informed choices about the security of their IoT devices.
