As an IoT product manufacturer, building consumer trust in the security of your connected devices is critical for driving sales and staying competitive. Fortunately, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has introduced a new program to help – the US Cyber Trust Mark.
Connected devices make up one of the largest attack surfaces on the modern Internet. Billions of devices, many with little to no consideration given to their secure operation, controlling everything from sewage treatment systems to safety-critical vehicle functions. As a result, security research on the low-level firmware that control these devices has become more important than ever. But how is a research to get access to closed-source firmware for proprietary hardware to begin with? One method that we have been using for some ongoing research is intercepting firmware from updater apps that use Bluetooth to perform over-the-air updates.
The Cyber Trust Mark shows which devices meet FCC security standards.
