The Biden administration wants the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark program to incentivize higher security standards in future IoT development.

Dive Brief:

• The Federal Communications Commission voted to create a long-anticipated U.S. Cyber Trust Mark program that will provide a label for smart products on the consumer market that meet robust cybersecurity standards.
• The voluntary program will allow makers of Internet of Things products — ranging from home security cameras to baby monitors and internet-connected appliances — to submit their products for testing and evaluation under third-party administrators.
• The FCC will seek public comment on additional proposed disclosure requirements, including whether certain software and firmware is made in countries that pose a security risk to the U.S.
