With cyber threats looming larger than ever in 2025, the U.S. government has launched a new initiative to keep your smart devices—and your personal data—safe from cyber threats.
With the new U.S Cyber Trust Mark, smart gadgets will be labeled to help you identify devices that are meeting security standards.
What’s the Cyber Trust Mark?
Think of the Cyber Trust Mark as a seal of approval for smart gadgets like TVs, fitness trackers, home cameras, and baby monitors. When you see this label, you know the device meets strict cybersecurity standards.
It’s like a safety net, protecting your devices from hackers while giving you peace of mind.
What Devices Need to Have for the Cyber Trust Mark
Products with this label come with:
- Strong, unique passwords to block unauthorized access.
- Automatic software updates to keep your device ahead of potential threats.
- Data protection tools to secure your personal information.
- Cyber threat detection features to catch problems before they escalate.
How the Cyber Trust Mark Makes Life Easier
Every Cyber Trust Mark will include a QR code. A quick scan gives you instant access to:
- Tips for setting up your device securely.
- Guidance on changing default passwords.
- Details about automatic updates and how to use them.
- Information on how long your device will receive support and updates.
Why This Matters for You
Do you know if your smart device will stay secure next year—or even next month? The Cyber Trust Mark helps you choose products that prioritize your safety, ensuring manufacturers provide the updates and support you need.
