A new trust mark for connected devices has been slated to come into effect in the USA. The voluntary programme is intended to raise awareness and assure confidence in the cyber security credentials of wireless Internet of Things (IoT) devices for US consumers and, eventually, consumers around the world.
The Cyber Trust Mark is part of the Biden administration’s focus on dealing with cyber threats. The Cyber Trust Mark programme was voted into effect by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on March 14, 2024.
The Cyber Trust Mark programme will involve the FCC, its Federal partners, manufacturers, retailers and cyber-security groups. Manufacturers of IoT devices – such as Smart TVs, baby monitors, security cameras, etc – will be able to submit their devices for testing and evaluation.
