The 'US Cyber Trust Mark' will help consumers easily recognize secure smart home products and encourage manufacturers to enhance their cybersecurity standards.
With the FCC's program, smart device manufacturers will be incentivized to adopt higher security measures, including unique passwords and regular software updates.
The proposal includes a QR code on certified products linking to a registry of secure devices, making information on security accessible to consumers.
There were more than 1.5 billion cyber attacks in the first half of 2021 alone, highlighting the urgency for improved cybersecurity in smart home devices.
