The White House has launched a Cyber Trust Mark for connected consumer devices to address cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the connected economy.
The initiative is supported by major manufacturers and retailers such as Amazon, Google, Best Buy, Samsung, and LG Electronics.
To comply with the voluntary standard, devices may need embedded protections like secure software updates, encryption, and default password protocols.
The initiative aims to educate consumers, incentivize companies to produce more secure devices, and prioritize cybersecurity in the business landscape.
