By using gadgets certified under the Cybersecurity Labelling Scheme, consumers are less likely to encounter incidents such as cyber criminals hacking into Internet Protocol (IP) cameras to peep on them, or breaking into home routers to access the data that victims send over the Internet.
......
The voluntary labelling scheme was launched about a year ago and, so far, CSA has received more than 100 applications.
......
The cyber-security labels have four rating levels, with Level 1 meaning the device maker has ensured there is a unique log-in password and software updates are pushed automatically to the products.
The highest Level 4 rating requires products to be sent for structured penetration tests conducted by CSA-approved third-party labs.
For now, four devices have obtained the Level 4 rating - the Government Technology Agency's TraceTogether contact tracing token, one Google Nest router and two Asus routers.
Other IoT devices certified under the national scheme include smart curtains, smart lights, smart switches, firewall devices, smart home hubs and more routers from Aztech, BroadLink, Home-A-Genius, HomeAuto Solutions, Koble, Prolink, Signify and TeamRed Labs.
......
Currently, the scheme's principles have been used to inform the development of a new national standard that can be adopted by manufacturers, developers, testing bodies and suppliers of consumer IoT devices globally.
Dubbed Technical Reference 91, it was launched on Wednesday by CSA and the Singapore Standards Council, which is overseen by Enterprise Singapore.
