US Cyber Trust Mark logo for smart devices is coming

The report outlines the US Cyber Trust Mark, a voluntary FCC-led labeling program backed by the White House to elevate cybersecurity standards for consumer IoT devices (e.g., smart appliances, wearables). Labels will include a QR code linking to details like support periods and update practices, with testing by accredited labs against NIST criteria; PCs, smartphones, and routers are currently excluded. First labels are expected this year, and starting in 2027 the U.S. government plans to purchase only labeled devices, incentivizing manufacturers to enhance device security.
