Anne Neuberger, former deputy national security advisor for cybersecurity, supports the Cyber Trust Mark initiative, despite a federal investigation into its links to China. The initiative certifies consumer smart devices as cybersecure, addressing growing concerns about insecure Chinese technology in American homes. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr initiated a review due to Underwriter Labs' ties to China, which prompted Neuberger to defend the program, emphasizing its critical role in improving cybersecurity and protecting consumers from vulnerable devices.
"China is a leading manufacturer of IoT devices, with a large percentage of the world's connected devices coming from China. Americans use insecure Chinese devices in their homes, schools and offices every day, like Hikvision IP cameras, Huawei networking equipment and Xiaomi devices."
"The Cyber Trust Mark program is precisely designed to help limit Americans' reliance on insecure Chinese-made smart devices, providing a certification to enhance consumer security."
