On Tuesday, Carnegie Mellon University's CyLab Security and Privacy Institute met with government officials and technology industry leaders as the White House launched its Internet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity label.

Yuvraj Agarwal, an associate professor in the School of Computer Science's Software and Societal Systems Department, represented CMU at the event, where he shared key findings from CyLab's five-plus years of IoT security and privacy label research.

During the White House event, the administration revealed its new IoT mark that, alongside a QR code, is geared toward helping consumers identify products that meet a set of baseline security and privacy practices — something CyLab researchers hope industry leaders will be quick to adopt. (Agarwal's comments begin at the 1 hour, 7 minute mark in the video below.)
