The labeling program, which has been likened to the Energy Star program for energy efficiency, would allow consumers to identify which IoT devices incorporate certain cybersecurity capabilities and have undergone comprehensive testing and assessment.

The average total cost of a data breach increased by nearly 10%, the largest increase in nearly a decade. However, groups able to identify and contain a breach in less than 200 days saved an average of $1.26 million compared to those that needed more time. So, the right thing to do is put more cybersecurity solutions in place, right? Read More
