White House launches IoT cybersecurity labeling program
The Biden administration has launched its long-awaited Cyber Trust Mark, a cybersecurity labeling program for IoT devices.
The program is being established to offer greater transparency around the security of connected devices, giving these items cybersecurity certifications to provide consumers with greater insight into the potential threats.
Officials have likened the scheme to the energy star rating given to different home appliances, with the Trust Mark to be a shield logo appearing on certified devices, identifying those with defenses such as password protection and regular security software updates.
Items will also display a QR code that consumers can scan for additional information.
