The Biden Administration has recently announced the implementation of a cybersecurity labeling program for smart devices. Overseen by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), this new program seeks to address the security of Internet of Things (IoT) devices nationwide. This announcement is in response to an increasing number of smart devices that fall victim to hackers and malware (AP News). As IoT devices increase in popularity in homes, offices, and other settings, these labels allow consumers to be aware of their digital safety. The cybersecurity labeling program will mandate manufacturers of smart devices to meet certain cybersecurity standards before releasing their products into the market. Each smart device will be required to have a standardized cybersecurity label. Labels will serve as an indicator of the device’s security level and inform consumers about the device\'s compliance with security standards. Devices that meet the highest level of security will be awarded a "Cyber Trust Mark," indicating their adherence to the most stringent security measures. The program will be able to hold companies accountable for producing secure devices while also giving customers the information they need to make informed decisions while purchasing IoT devices. Examples of IoT devices include smart watches, home assistants, Ring cameras, thermostats, and smart appliances. New technologies such as these have grown increasingly more present in modern life. However, hackers have continued to exploit vulnerabilities in these devices, which compromise user privacy. These devices also allow hackers to gain entry to consumers\' larger networks. In the last quarter of 2022, there was a 98% increase in malware targeting IoT devices. New malware variants also spiked, rising 22% on the year (Tech Monitor). Compared to 2018, 2022 had more than 3 times the amount of IoT malware attacks (Statista). Economically motivated attacks have been on the rise, and a larger number of consumers\' personal devices are being breached through IoT devices on the same network. Hackers then hold users\' devices until they are paid a ransom in cryptocurrency to keep the transaction anonymous. This rise in cybersecurity attacks can be contributed to the fact that it has become easier than ever for hackers to target networks. With Raas (Ransomware as a Service) offerings, hackers don’t need any previous cybersecurity expertise, as they can buy software written by ransomware operators. Because IoT devices are often left |
