The White House and the FCC have announced a voluntary cybersecurity labeling program for internet-connected devices sold in the US.
The program will roll out in 2024 and is named the US Cyber Trust Mark.
It will take the form of a shield logo applied to routers and IoT devices sold through US retailers. The logo will be applied to devices that meet a set of basic cybersecurity criteria, such as devices using unique and strong default passwords, can receive security updates, protect user data, and restrict access to their management interfaces.
