Deep dives
Introduction of Cybertrust Labels
A new initiative will introduce Cybertrust labels on connected devices, similar to Energy Star certification, to inform consumers of baseline cybersecurity practices. The White House plans to enforce that federal government purchases will only include devices bearing the Cybertrust label by 2027. This program will adhere to NIST cybersecurity criteria and will provide consumers with information on the expected duration of software updates at the point of purchase. The collaboration of CISA, the FCC, and the Department of Justice will ensure oversight and enforcement of this label system.
