Biden administration launches cybersecurity labeling program for consumer tech devices

The Biden administration has introduced the "U.S. Cyber Trust Mark" program to certify and label consumer tech devices that meet cybersecurity standards.
The voluntary program will be overseen by the FCC and feature a distinct shield logo for qualifying devices starting in 2024.
Major companies like Amazon, Google, Samsung, and Best Buy are participating in the program to help guide consumers.
Devices will undergo annual re-certification and feature QR codes linking to updated security information.
The program aims to address cybersecurity concerns through informed consumer choices, similar to the Energy Star labeling.
