## Key points

- The FCC is creating a voluntary cybersecurity label for connected products.
- A QR code will link shoppers to security and support details.
- The programme targets 2027, but cannot guarantee devices will never be hacked.

## Summary

The FCC is developing a voluntary Cyber Trust Mark to help shoppers judge whether internet-connected products meet basic cybersecurity requirements. The label is intended to make security easier to compare and encourage manufacturers to build protections into devices from the start.

Qualifying products will carry a shield and QR code linking to information such as how to change a default password, find software updates and check how long the manufacturer will provide support. The article says a typical US household has about 20 to 25 connected devices and faces close to one million internet-of-things-related cyberattacks per day. The FCC is targeting implementation by 2027 and says the mark cannot guarantee a product will never be hacked.
