UL offers IoT security starter kit
The IoT Security Starter Kit is based on SDL best practices and includes security-by-design training, an SDL gap analysis, a product security architecture review and penetration testing. Users can customize these offerings based on their company’s specific security needs.
Industrial automation control system manufacturers and commercial, consumer, and medical device product manufacturers can benefit from the IoT Security Starter Kit, says the company.
“With the complex nature of IoT and operational technology infrastructure, companies need to maintain the right level of security for products and systems,” says Olivier Laborie, business development director of the Identity Management and Security group at UL. “At UL, we can help spot potential security flaws early in the development process through a customized security design and architecture review. We can also identify potential product vulnerabilities and provide remediation advice by conducting penetration testing of a product. We work with companies to train their personnel on an SDL framework, as well as perform a gap analysis of security processes and documentation to ensure companies are equipped to prevent, identify and respond to potential cyberthreats.”
The increasing complexity of smart factories, adaptive production systems, and the new Industry 4.0 business models introduces a set of safety and security-related issues for consideration, says the company. Its full suite of advisory, testing and certification services, including the IoT Security Starter Kit, are designed to help organizations manage their cybersecurity risks and validate their cybersecurity capabilities to the marketplace.
The IoT Security Starter Kit helps companies:
- Advance in-house security knowledge and capabilities
- Compare internal security processes and practices to industry frameworks and standards
- Prioritize processes and practices that require improvements to meet industry frameworks and standards
- Understand product, security architecture and design risks through testing for vulnerabilities and exploits
UL possesses extensive expertise in cybersecurity, with a global network of IoT and operational technology security laboratories and more than 500 security experts and advisers who have specialized expertise in global security standards, frameworks and best practices across various consumer and industrial ecosystems.
