Can Security Be Nutritious? (T22b)

Security certifications have been around for decades but how should non-technical audiences interpret 400+ validation reports? Over the last few years there has been a lot of research and debate on what would a cybersecurity label look like? This talk will cover some of these hotly debated topics such as who should be issuing the label, what should the label look like, where should the label reside, and what criteria should the label actually include and does that criteria apply to different device categories. Most importantly, how will these labels help improve security by making it easier to understand for the consumer, and therefore provide incentives to manufacturers to build more secure products.
