UL Solutions is a leading global safety science company that evaluates hundreds of marketing claims each year. One of their services, the UL Solutions\u2019 IoT Security Rating Program, verifies the security capabilities of smart home products.<\/p>\n
UL Solutions differentiates security capability performance using five levels \u2013 Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond.
