Keysight joins White House initiative to improve IoT security

Posted 19 July 2023

Keysight Technologies announces support for the voluntary national standard for consumer internet of things (IoT) cybersecurity labeling program unveiled by the Biden-Harris Administration at the White House. Known as the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark, the IoT labeling program outlines a set of cybersecurity standards devised by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

“The internet of things is enormous and getting cybersecurity at scale will be crucial,” said Michael Bergman, Vice President, Technology & Standards, Consumer Technology Association. “Automated cybersecurity validation for consumer IoT has huge potential for companies to make their compliance uniform and repeatable.”

Keysight makes it easy and cost-effective for manufacturers to comply with the new White House IoT labeling standard and achieve certification right now with the Keysight IoT Security Assessment.

Anne Neuberger, Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technologies, said: “The U.S. Cyber Trust Mark will give consumers a way to know if the smart devices they’re purchasing are secure, and give companies a label to show their products meet cybersecurity standards. Together with our industry partners, we are making our homes, classrooms, and workplaces safer and less vulnerable to cyberattacks.”

Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager, Network Test & Security Solutions, Keysight, said: “The cybersecurity landscape is constantly shifting, with a nonstop stream of new threats and vulnerabilities. By using the Keysight IoT Security Assessment, device designers and manufacturers can mitigate potential security issues. The solution automates the testing and validation process to reduce costs while speeding time-to-market.”

Satish Dhanasekaran, President and Chief Executive Officer, Keysight, said: “Connected devices of all types are reshaping the world around us – from healthcare and connected cars to consumer electronics and industrial controls. As a leader in IoT, 6G, and other new technologies, Keysight strongly supports the new IoT cybersecurity labeling standards introduced by the White House. We are pleased to share our expertise and tools to help enable device makers to quickly meet these critical new standards to safeguard consumers and manufacturers.”
