The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will trial a national Cyber Trust Mark for wireless IoT products. 

While the FCC has not yet announced a start date for the scheme, companies creating connected devices will be required to meet new cybersecurity standards and display a sticker on their products informing consumers that these standards have been met.

Smart speakers, doorbell cameras and health trackers are all among the devices that would be affected by the proposed scheme. 

In its original statement proposing the scheme, the FCC suggested that the sticker includes a QR code that could directly link consumers to the security details of a smart device. 

According to FCC figures, over 25 billion IoT devices will be operational by 2030 around the world. 

In its 2023 thematic intelligence report into IoT devices, research and analysis company GlobalData reported that the total IoT market could reach upwards of $1.7trn by 2027.
