U.S. Cyber Trust Mark - A Great Vision in the Cyber Age
A truly great vision in the cyber age: "The White House has announced the impending rollout of a cybersecurity safety label called the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark. Modeled after the Energy Star label for power-efficient devices, the Cyber Trust Mark will begin appearing on products such as smart appliances, baby monitors and security cameras later this year. In order to be certified, products will have to meet certain cybersecurity standards, including strong default passwords, data protection measures and regular software updates. Executives from Amazon and Best Buy hailed the certification program in a White House statement."
Today, the White House announced the launch of a cybersecurity label for internet-connected devices, known as the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark, completing public notice and input over the last 18 months. During that time, FCC Commissioners decided in a bipartisan and unanimous vote to authorize the program and adopt final rules, as well as the trademarked, distinct shield logo that will be applied to products certified for the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark label. In December 2024, the FCC announced the conditional approval of 11 companies as Cybersecurity Label Administrators and the conditional selection of UL Solutions as the Lead Administrator.
