He has written news, reviews, and more as a tech journalist since 2020.The Biden Administration is unveiling a new cybersecurity label for smart devices today.
The Cyber Trust label is comprised of two parts: a logo stamped on the box of a product, and a QR code that buyers can scan later to verify that the device is still certified as cybersecurity threats evolve and patches are needed.

She also said the program will help drive accountability, as smart home products will have to continue issuing security patches as needed to retain their Cyber Trust label. Neuberger said in an interview withthat there’s always going to be “a new zero day,” calling it “troublesome” that, at times, when the intelligence community discloses an IoT vulnerability to companies, they say they’re done with those products and won’t issue a patch.
