TP-Link Systems endorses the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark and supports the EU’s proposed Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

“We strongly support government-led security initiatives and the development of regulations and industry standards to secure the IoT ecosystem. TP-Link Systems applauds the House’s approval of the bipartisan ROUTERS Act, which takes an important step in the industry-wide effort to strengthen network security in the United States.
