Industry Groups Urge Fixes to FCC's Cybersecurity Labeling at House Hearing

WASHINGTON, January 17, 2024 – The Federal Communications Commission should make alterations to its proposed new labeling cybersecurity labeling system by making the label optional and increasing accessibility for consumers and the private sector, witnesses told a House subcommittee hearing on Thursday.
