The United States government is preparing to launch its cybersecurity labeling program for consumer internet-connected devices.
The Cyber Trust Mark is a voluntary label designed to improve device security by providing consumers with more information about the security of the products they purchase.
Major manufacturers and retailers, including Amazon, Google, Best Buy, Samsung, and LG Electronics, have supported the initiative.
Companies will soon be able to submit their Internet of Things (IoT) products for testing to earn the label, with certified products expected to arrive in stores this year.
