The Federal Communications Commission on Monday picked a new organization to oversee its cybersecurity labeling program for internet of things devices, signaling that the Trump administration is still keen to launch its predecessor’s effort to put security at the center of smart-gadget purchases. The FCC picked the nonprofit ioXt Alliance to be the new lead administrator of the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark Program, in which government-approved testing labs will review voluntarily submitted IoT products and certify that they meet the necessary standards to carry a security seal of approval. The program is aimed at consumers but will also likely influence businesses’ purchasing decisions. Officials hope that more widespread use of secure IoT devices will make it harder for hackers to commandeer the devices for cyberattacks, as they have repeatedly done over the years. The Biden administration, which created the Cyber Trust Mark Program, initially selected the global standards organization UL Solutions to administer the program, but UL withdrew in December, after the Trump administration began investigating the company over its ties to China. That investigation led some experts to wonder whether the FCC’s new Republican leadership planned to sideline the Cyber Trust Mark Program. Monday’s announcement suggests that the FCC is committed to the program. In a statement, FCC Chair Brendan Carr said the commission was confident that ioXt would “implement the program in a way that is consistent with” its founding purpose. As lead administrator, the FCC explained in its official order, ioXt will be responsible for, among other tasks, “leading the ongoing stakeholder engagement to recommend additional IoT-specific standards and testing procedures, developing a consumer outreach campaign in collaboration with stakeholders, and acting as liaison between the Commission and [other label administrators].” According to the commission, ioXt has said that “it is well positioned to serve as Lead

Hikvision has reaffirmed its commitment to transparency by achieving ISO/IEC 29147:2018 and ISO/IEC 30111:2019 certifications from the BSI. According to the company, these global benchmarks validate Hikvision’s leadership in vulnerability management. By aligning its identification and resolution processes with the highest international standards, the company continues to put its ‘Secure by Design’ philosophy at the heart of all product development. The certifications specifically recognise Hikvision’s excellence in two critical areas: - The transparent disclosure - The systematic resolution of security vulnerabilities. By aligning with ISO/IEC 29147:2018, the company stated that it adheres to global guidelines for reporting potential risks, ensuring an open and accountable channel of communication with the security community. This transparency is reinforced by ISO/IEC 30111:2019, which mandates rigorous internal protocols for investigating and mitigating these vulnerabilities, ensuring every security concern is met with a standardised, high-integrity response. These new benchmarks join an extensive portfolio of global standards held by the company, including: - ISO/IEC 27001 & 27701 (Information Security & Privacy) - ISO/IEC 29151 (PII Protection) & ETSI EN 303 645 (IoT Cybersecurity) - Common Criteria (EAL3+) - CSA STAR & Singapore CLS - CMMI Level 5 (Secure Software Development) From secure design to secure operations This commitment to digital trust establishes a foundation that follows the product from the factory to the field. While ‘Secure by Design’ ensures hardware is resilient at the point of manufacture, Hikvision recognises that true security is a living process. Therefore, the company continues to align its global operations with emerging legal frameworks, ensuring technology stays ahead of the legislative curve while prioritising a ‘user-first’ approach to data. In this model, privacy is paramount: ownership and control of all data remain strictly with the end-user. However, this commitment to data sovereignty is only effective when supported by a secure operational ecosystem.

What does the "Measures for the Administration of Cybersecurity Identification" mean for the Internet of Things industry? Recently, three departments including the National Internet Information Office jointly issued the "Measures for the Administration of Cybersecurity Labels" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"), which will come into effect on July 1st. In the past few years, countries and regions such as the United States, the European Union, Japan, and Singapore have vigorously promoted the Internet of Things (IoT) security label system. The industry has also called for the establishment of a Chinese version of the IoT security label system as soon as possible. Now, although the release of the "Measures" is not specifically targeted at IoT products, IoT products account for a large proportion of products with Internet connectivity. Therefore, to a certain extent, it can be considered the release of the preliminary version of the Chinese version of the IoT security label system, which will further enhance the competitiveness of IoT products. Consumer IoT products will be typical objects applicable to the "Measures" The "Measures" point out that "products with Internet connectivity are applicable to these measures, and specific products are managed through a catalog." In November last year, the first batch of product catalogs for implementing cybersecurity labels was attached to the draft for comments of the measures. The consumer network-connected cameras included in the first batch of the catalog are typical consumer IoT products. Most IoT products have Internet connectivity. In particular, consumer IoT products, as intelligent connected devices, are targeted at a large consumer group. Many products have hundreds of millions or even billions of users. However, consumers do not have professional knowledge and capabilities in cybersecurity. Therefore, implementing cybersecurity labels in the consumer IoT field is of great significance for protecting the legitimate rights and interests

By Oluwapelumi BankoleResearcher, Information Systems & Cybersecurity, University of Nevada, Las Vegas Every morning, millions of Americans wake up in homes full of connected devices. The thermostat knows when you leave. The doorbell camera watches your street. The hospital down the road runs infusion pumps, patient monitors, and HVAC systems that communicate over the same category of network as your smart refrigerator. And almost none of these devices are adequately protected. We have built an extraordinary infrastructure of connected machines, and we are defending it with tools designed for a different era. This is not a problem of awareness. Cybersecurity is a top federal priority. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) publishes advisories weekly. Billions of dollars flow into enterprise firewalls, endpoint protection, and security operations centers. And yet, the attack surface keeps growing. As of 2024, the U.S. power grid alone hosts over 2.3 million connected IoT devices, many running outdated firmware with no patching schedule and no monitoring in place. The gap is not between what we know and what we fear. The gap is between the security systems we have built and the environments those systems actually need to operate in. The Lab Looks Nothing Like the Real World Intrusion detection systems, the software designed to flag malicious activity on a network, have improved dramatically over the past decade. Machine learning and deep learning models can now identify attack patterns with remarkable accuracy in research settings. Transformer architectures borrowed from natural language processing, long short-term memory networks trained on sequential traffic data, ensemble models combining multiple classifiers: the academic literature is full of systems achieving 98 or 99 percent accuracy. Those numbers are often misleading. The accuracy figure typically comes from a laboratory dataset, collected in controlled conditions, with relatively clean traffic distributions, and tested on

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) generates high-volume network traffic that is heterogeneous and highly imbalanced, creating a critical need for intrusion detection systems (IDS) that remain accurate under resource-constrained edge gateways. This study presents an optimized gradient-boosting IDS framework evaluated on the CICIoT2023 benchmark. The pipeline integrates stratified undersampling to mitigate class imbalance and gain-based feature selection to remove redundant flow attributes. We evaluate the framework across three tasks: binary detection, 8-class attack-family classification, and 34-class fine-grained classification. Across all tasks, the evaluated models achieved strong detection performance with low inference latency; specifically, XGBoost attained 99.61% accuracy and a 0.995 macro-F1 score in binary detection with 0.355 µs/sample inference time. Feature selection reduced the input space from 46 to 23 dimensions, and an ablation study showed that this reduction decreased inference latency by 30–51% and training time by 33–40% while keeping accuracy variation within ± 0.014% points. These results indicate an accuracy–efficiency trade-off suitable for real-time deployment. All datasets, code, and results are publicly available to facilitate reproducibility.
