🔒 U.S. Cyber Trust Mark: A Smarter Way to Buy Smart Devices

Smart devices make our lives easier—but they also open the door to cyber risks. In 2022 alone, more than 112 million cyberattacks targeted Internet of Things (IoT) devices. And with AI-powered threats on the rise, the risk is growing fast.

To help consumers and businesses shop smarter, the U.S. government is launching the Cyber Trust Mark—a label that identifies smart devices with strong cybersecurity protections.

🛡️ What Is the Cyber Trust Mark?

This new label shows a device has passed key security checks, including:

• Strong passwords by default
• Encrypted data protection
• Automatic software updates

If you see the mark, the device meets government-approved standards for safety and privacy.

🔍 Why This Matters to Your Business

Whether you’re protecting a smart office, conference room, or storefront, the Cyber Trust Mark makes your job easier:

• Buy with confidence: Know which devices are built with security in mind.
• Save time: The mark takes the guesswork out of shopping.
• Manage risk: Reduce your attack surface with verified hardware.
