Foresight Institute — program: Norm Hardy Prize — $10,000 award for advances in usable security. 2025 winner: Dr. Pardis Emami-Naeini for cybersecurity labeling for smart home devices that influenced the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark.

NoteThe source confirms all key elements of the claim: (1) Foresight Institute's Norm Hardy Prize is a $10,000 award, (2) it focuses on usable security (the prize description emphasizes helping users make wise decisions regarding security), (3) Dr. Pardis Emami-Naeini is a 2025 winner, (4) the work involves cybersecurity labeling for smart home devices, and (5) it influenced the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark. The only minor note is that the source lists three 2025 winners (Emami-Naeini, Cranor, and Agarwal), not just Dr. Emami-Naeini alone, but the claim's focus on Dr. Emami-Naeini is not contradicted—it is simply incomplete. All stated facts are accurate as of 2025.
