Z-Wave Alliance in full support of Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) Product Security Verified (PSV) Mark and U.S. Cyber Trust Mark.

The Z-Wave Alliance announces full support of the latest cybersecurity labeling programs for IoT and connected devices. In conjunction with the Z-Wave Alliance Summit & Unplug Fest 2024, the Alliance today announces that the Z-Wave protocol security framework meets, and in some cases exceeds, the regulations and requirements set forth by the recently announced U.S. Cyber Trust Mark.

“Robust device security has long-stood as a cornerstone of the Z-Wave protocol,” said Avi Rosenthal, Chairman of the Board for the Z-Wave Alliance.

“The Z-Wave Alliance commends all the hard work done by our industry cohorts at the Connectivity Standards Alliance in raising much-needed awareness surrounding the complexities of enhanced cyber security for connecting devices.”

Certification is paramount when it comes to the future of connected IoT devices. All Z-Wave devices are subject to a rigorous certification process to ensure device security, compatibility, and interoperability. As Cybersecurity labeling becomes more prevalent, the Alliance remains committed to its best-in-class certification process while embracing evolving programs. The Z-Wave Alliance certification program does not compete with the CSA Product Security Verified Mark nor the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark but instead signals support and compliance for the developing regulations and specifications.

The Z-Wave Alliance is a standards development organization dedicated to developing and advancing Z-Wave® technology as an open and internationally recognized ITU standard (G.9959) for smart home and IoT solutions. Alliance members continue to shape and drive the future of Z-Wave through open development in the Alliance OS Work Group. visit: zwavealliance.org
