Smart locks and keyless entry systems are revolutionizing home security with biometrics, AI detection, and smart home integration, driven by market growth from $2.21 billion in 2024 to over $16 billion by 2033. Despite cybersecurity concerns, innovations like quantum-proof encryption promise enhanced reliability. These devices blend convenience with robust protection for modern living.
The U.S. Cyber Trust Mark program, designed to certify secure IoT devices like smart thermostats, has stalled after its lead administrator withdrew amid an FCC investigation. This setback exposes ongoing vulnerabilities in consumer tech, delays certifications, and questions federal cybersecurity enforcement. The incoming Trump administration may further hinder revival efforts.
