Securing the Smart Home: The Benefits of the Exein Cybersecurity Label for OEMs
The smart home industry is flourishing. From intelligent thermostats to voice-activated assistants, smart devices are revolutionizing our daily lives. However, with increased connectivity comes heightened risk.
To address these concerns and enhance security, Exein is proud to introduce the Exein Cybersecurity Label. This innovative project provides clarity on online threats and ensures that smart home devices are protected with Exein’s advanced embedded security. Here’s how the Exein Cybersecurity Label benefits smart home OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers).
What is the Exein Cybersecurity Label?
Exein is dedicated to enhancing IoT security. The Exein Cybersecurity Label is a major step forward in this effort.
This label is dynamic and evolves with new data on cyber attacks and risks. It ensures that clients and users always have a clear and updated understanding of the security status, adapting to the changing landscape of cyber threats through the product's serial number.
Building Consumer Trust
Addressing Consumer Concerns
A recent Deloitte study highlights that nearly six in ten consumers worry about their devices being vulnerable to security breaches and being tracked. These concerns have significantly increased from previous years. The CraftJack research also found that more than three-quarters (76%) of Americans believe their smart devices are listening to them, with 61% believing the devices are always eavesdropping. Additionally, one in three Americans are worried about their smart gadgets being hacked.
The Exein Cybersecurity Label directly addresses these fears by assuring consumers that their devices are protected by Exein’s advanced embedded security.
Boosting Consumer Confidence
A survey by ESET and the National Cyber Security Alliance reveals that nearly one quarter of consumers have an internet-connected device such as a thermostat or appliance in their home and use an app to control it. Yet, more than 40% are “not confident at all” that IoT devices are safe, secure, and able to protect personal information.
The Exein Cybersecurity Label instills confidence in consumers' purchase decisions by signifying that the device is protected by robust security measures. This trust is invaluable in a market where security concerns are prevalent, giving OEMs a competitive edge.
Enhancing Brand Reputation
Earning the Exein Cybersecurity Label distinguishes OEMs as leaders in cybersecurity.
This enhances their brand reputation and positions them as responsible entities committed to safeguarding customer privacy and data, which can lead to increased customer loyalty and market share.
Protecting Your Smart Home
Devices with the Exein Cybersecurity Label have comprehensive embedded security measures to protect against various threats. These devices are designed to defend against cyber attacks at all levels, reducing the risk of expensive security breaches for OEMs.
The label signifies that the device includes proactive threat detection mechanisms. These advanced systems can identify and mitigate potential threats before they can cause harm, ensuring that the OEMs’ products are always secure and reliable.
Simplifying Security for Consumers
The Exein Cybersecurity Label simplifies the process of identifying secure devices for consumers.
Instead of navigating complex technical specifications, consumers can rely on the label as a clear indicator of robust cybersecurity measures, making the purchasing decision easier and more straightforward.
The label also serves an educational purpose. It raises awareness about the importance of cybersecurity in the smart home industry and encourages consumers to prioritize security in their purchasing decisions, driving demand for labeled products.
Compliance with New Regulations
The Exein Cybersecurity Label ensures that devices are safeguarded with Exein’s embedded security. This aligns with the stringent standards of the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act, helping OEMs avoid legal issues and meet European cybersecurity requirements.
In the United States, the Cyber Trust Mark aims to enhance the security of connected devices. By protecting devices with Exein’s advanced embedded security, OEMs can align their products with the principles behind the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark, demonstrating their commitment to cybersecurity and regulatory compliance, which can be a significant advantage in the market.
Encouraging Industry Standards
By adopting the Exein Cybersecurity Label, OEMs raise the bar for cybersecurity in the smart home industry. This drives innovation and ensures that new products are designed with security as a foundational element rather than an afterthought, helping OEMs stay ahead of the curve.
A widespread adoption of the Exein Cybersecurity Label fosters a secure ecosystem where all devices within a smart home can communicate and operate without compromising security. This interconnected security framework is essential for the seamless functioning of modern smart homes and can enhance the overall user experience.
As smart home technology becomes more widespread, the Exein Cybersecurity Label emerges as a symbol of trust and security.
For OEMs, this label not only boosts consumer confidence and improves brand reputation but also ensures compliance with key regulations such as the Cyber Resilience Act and the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark. This dual assurance provides peace of mind to both manufacturers and consumers, increasing the demand for secure and reliable smart home products.
