On Tuesday, the White House, in collaboration with companies like Amazon, Google<\/a>and Best Buy (BBY.N), will introduce an initiative aimed at enabling Americans to identify devices that have a lower vulnerability to cyberattacks.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

According to a statement from the White House, this new certification and labeling program will establish higher cybersecurity<\/a> standards for smart devices such as refrigerators, microwaves, televisions, climate control systems, and fitness trackers.<\/p>\n

Manufacturers and retailers will affix a “US Cyber \u200b\u200bTrust Mark” logo to their devices, and the program is set to be operational by 2024.<\/p>\n

An unnamed senior administration official stated that the initiative seeks to enhance the security of networks and their utilization, as it is crucial for both economic and national security.<\/p>\n

Prior to implementing the labeling program, the Federal Communications Commission will invite public input and subsequently register a national trademark with the US Patent and Trademark Office, as stated by the White House.<\/p>\n

Other participants in the program include LG Electronics USA, Logitech, Cisco Systems, and Samsung.<\/p>\n

In March, the White House unveiled its national cyber strategy, emphasizing the need for software developers and companies to assume greater responsibility in safeguarding their systems against hacking.<\/p>\n

Additionally, efforts by agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Defense have been intensified to combat the activities of hackers and ransomware groups worldwide.<\/p>\n

Last week, Microsoft and US officials revealed that state-linked hackers from China had covertly accessed email accounts in approximately 25 organizations, including at least two US government agencies since May.<\/p>\n
