The U.S. Cyber Trust Mark Initiative will introduce consumer labels on smart devices like baby monitors and fitness trackers to help consumers choose products that meet federal cybersecurity standards and are less vulnerable to hacking. The labels, similar to the Energy Star program, are expected to start appearing on devices before the holiday shopping season, providing security information through QR codes and involving industry participants like Amazon, Google, and Samsung. This initiative aims to empower consumers and encourage manufacturers to improve cybersecurity in their products amidst the rise of cybercrime associated with internet-connected devices.
