The Biden administration is planning to launch a new cybersecurity certification and labeling program aimed at helping Americans make more informed decisions when it comes to purchasing smart devices that are less vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Known as the “U.S. Cyber Trust Mark” program, the initiative will be overseen by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), according to a July 18 statement from the White House.
