The U.S. federal government has introduced a new consumer labeling system designed to indicate smart devices that are less vulnerable to hacking.
The initiative, known as the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark Initiative, allows manufacturers to label their products if they comply with federal cybersecurity standards.
Devices eligible for the label include baby monitors, home security cameras, and other internet-connected appliances.
The labels feature a shield logo and QR codes, providing consumers with easy access to essential security information.
This program, likened to the Energy Star initiative, encourages manufacturers to improve cybersecurity measures and helps consumers make informed choices.
