The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) this month launched a new voluntary cybersecurity labeling program for “smart” Internet of Things (IoT) products.

According to the FCC, the program will incentivize companies to sell products that meet high cybersecurity standards while helping consumers make informed purchasing decisions.

But according to Odette Wilkens, a technology attorney, the program may give consumers a false sense of cybersecurity. That’s because, according to Wilkens, “the cybersecurity danger may not lurk within the products but within the signal being used by the wireless services that may be hacked.”
