  • The White House has launched the US Cyber Trust Mark, a new voluntary safety label for smart home and IoT devices.
  • Devices meeting the cybersecurity criteria will receive the label after compliance testing, ensuring better consumer protection.
  • Launching in 2025, the program will include a QR code for detailed security information, and platforms like Amazon and BestBuy will highlight certified products.

The White House has announced the launch of a new safety label for smart home and other internet-connected devices sold in the US. Called the US Cyber Trust Mark, this is a voluntary label companies can attach to devices like home security cameras, smart speakers, routers, and baby monitors. These devices usually come with easy-to-guess default passwords leading to hacks. They also don’t come with well-defined information on security updates. That’s where the Cyber Trust Mark program comes in. It is designed to enhance cybersecurity standards for connected devices and provide consumers with a clear way to identify products that meet specific security criteria.
