Cyber Shield Act: Voluntary Labeling for Secure Internet-Connected Devices (IoT).

This law establishes a voluntary program to help consumers identify safer internet-connected devices, like smart cameras or appliances. Manufacturers meeting high cybersecurity standards can apply a special "Cyber Shield" label to their products. This gives you clear information about the data protection and security level of the device before you buy it.
Key points
Introduction of "Cyber Shield" labels (digital and physical) on IoT devices, making it easier for citizens to identify products with higher security and data protection standards.
Creation of a public, searchable database listing certified products, their security benchmarks, and manufacturer contact information.
The program is voluntary for manufacturers but aims to raise the overall security standards of devices connected to home networks.
