What is the UL IoT Security Rating?
The UL IoT Security Rating is a comprehensive framework for evaluating the security posture of smart products and IoT devices. The framework was developed by UL (Underwriters Laboratories), a global safety science company that offers certification services. It is a tiered rating system that aims to establish a standard security baseline within the consumer IoT sector. This provides consumers, manufacturers, and retailers with a clear and comprehensible measure of the security features embedded in IoT products, and their ability to mitigate common IoT threats and vulnerabilities.
The rating system is divided into different levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. Each level represents a progressively more robust set of security features. These levels are determined based on various criteria, such as data encryption, software integrity, and user data protection. A service or product that receives the Diamond level rating has met the most rigorous and demanding security standards and offers comprehensive security protection to its customers.
