FCC Picks ioXt Alliance to Head Cyber Trust Mark Program
The previous selection, UL Solutions, withdrew after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr probed its connections to China.
WASHINGTON, April 13, 2026 – The Federal Communications Commission selected Monday a new administrator for its Cyber Trust Mark program, nearly four months after the agency’s previous selection withdrew amid scrutiny from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.
The FCC selected the ioXt Alliance to run the program, which will allow companies that build sufficient cybersecurity protections into their internet-connected devices to display an Energy Star-like mark.
“The FCC’s U.S. Cyber Trust Mark Program was designed to help consumers make informed decisions about the products they bring into their homes,” Carr said in a statement. “With today’s decision, the FCC is ensuring that the Lead Administrator will implement the program in a way that is consistent with that vision, while advancing national and cyber security.”
