The White House this week announced a new label for Internet-connected devices, the Cyber Trust Mark, aimed at helping consumers make more informed decisions about the cybersecurity of the products they bring into their homes.
To earn the US Cyber Trust Mark, which is being administered by the Federal Communications Commission, companies must test their products against established cybersecurity criteria from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology through testing compliance by accredited laboratories.
Eligible products range from baby monitors to smart home security devices.
The US Cyber Trust Mark is the result of a nearly two-year public notice and comment period. The FCC unanimously authorized the program and adopted final rules in late 2024.
