CHESEAUX-SUR-LAUSANNE, SUISSE, 27 février 2017 – Kudelski Security, la division cybersécurité du Groupe Kudelski (SIX:KUD.S) a annoncé aujourd’hui l’obtention de la Certification de Sécurité de Premier Niveau (CSPN) de l’ANSSI (L’Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information) pour ses laboratoires avancés, dans le cadre d’évaluation des dispositifs IoT.

Le processus de certification CSPN permet aux entreprises d’attester le niveau sécurité de leur technologie en conformité avec les standards définis en France. Il est une alternative à d’autres certifications telles que le « Federal Information Processing Standard – FIPS » et les évaluations Critères Communs, qui requièrent un investissement important en temps et en ressources. 

La certification CSPN, visant les produits et services destinés au marché français, est particulièrement intéressante pour les entreprises opérant dans le domaine de l’Internet des objets (IoT) dont la technologie est en constante évolution, et où la rapidité de mise sur le marché est la clé du succès. Le calendrier d’une évaluation CSPN est fixé à huit semaines. Les coûts d’évaluation sont contenus, et des programmes de gestion de continuité sont considérés nativement dans ce processus facilitant l’évolution du produit. Toutes les méthodes, procédures et documents utilisés dans les évaluations CSPN sont établis par l’ANSSI.

Les laboratoires avancés d’évaluation de la sécurité de Kudelski Security ont une riche expérience en matière de conception et de réalisation de systèmes de certification dans le domaine de la télévision à péage (Pay-TV), et notamment sur les terminaux et les puces électroniques (chipsets). Ses équipes d’experts qualifiés, s’appuyant sur des technologies de pointe et propriétaires, s’assureront que toute évaluation CSPN est effectuée de manière minutieuse dans le respect des délais et du budget. Allant au-delà du simple rôle d’un organisme d’évaluation CSPN, ces experts peuvent également fournir des conseils sur les problématiques de sécurité concernant l’écosystème de votre produit et, si vous le souhaitez, pourront créer un schéma de certification personnalisé qui vous permettra d’atteindre un niveau de sécurité plus élevé.

« Kudelski Security peut dès à présent garantir à ses clients que ces évaluations sécuritaires sont réalisées selon les normes et les standards définis en France» a déclaré Andrew Howard, Chief Technology Officer chez Kudelski Security. « La reconnaissance de la part de l’ANSSI renforce notre crédibilité en tant que fournisseur privilégié d’évaluations de sécurité sur des terminaux connectés, destinés à la vente sur le marché français ».

CHESEAUX, Switzerland, and PHOENIX (AZ), USA, February 14 2017 – The Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S) today announced a new partnership with Sigfox, a leading global provider of connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT). The partnership will set the basis for collaboration between the Kudelski Group and Sigfox to address increasing security expectations in the fast-growing IoT market worldwide.

Sigfox partners – including silicon vendors, device makers, design houses – and customers will now have access to the expertise of the Kudelski Group’s IoT Security Center of Excellence to optimize the security around the deployment of Sigfox-enabled products and better protect the related data. In addition, technology adopters will be able to leverage services that help them ensure their customer devices and systems meet desired security levels at all stages of development.

“Sigfox is one of the world’s leading providers of Internet of Things connectivity. We are pleased to leverage our extensive experience in device and software security to accelerate the adoption of embedded security in the IoT market”, said Andrew Howard, CTO of Kudelski Security, in charge of the Kudelski Group’s IoT Security Center of Excellence. “Through the skills and long-term expertise of the engineering and security teams in our IoT Security Center of Excellence, we will help address the growing security concerns with the expanding IoT market and enable clients to drive greater value to their customer base.”

The IoT Security Center of Excellence will support the partnership using IoT Security Design and Assessment services to help Sigfox technology adopters to deploy IoT Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) solutions with greater confidence, since security and privacy are important elements to allow mass market adoption. The Kudelski Group’s IoT Security Posture Improvement services propose best-in-class technologies and own patented mechanisms in order to address the security gaps identified during the security assessment stage and ensure an unprecedented level of security. With these services, Sigfox customers and partners can get adequate security controls in their entire IoT ecosystem to resist even the most advanced threats.

“It is increasingly important to consider and plan security architecture at the very beginning of design and development of an IoT solution”, said Laetitia Jay, Chief Marketing Officer at Sigfox. “From day one, Sigfox’s core architecture has been secure by design. Our partners and customers will now benefit from the strategic partnership with the Kudelski Group to build and run secure end-to-end IoT applications.”

The IoT landscape is expanding rapidly with analysts such as Gartner, Inc. anticipating 25 billion connected devices by 2020 . While the IoT is driving innovation and growth, serious concerns have arisen over the security of devices, the IoT ecosystems and the privacy and integrity of data transmitted. The IoT attack surface is huge and growing, comprising a vast ecosystem of devices and technologies, different communications protocols, platforms, applications and infrastructures. For vendors and integrators, ineffective security could harm overall return on investments through a negative impact on product and service adoption and brand reputation, and has led to a growing demand for proven security tactics and technology for the IoT space.

• IoT Security Design & Assessment: While IoT devices have a well-developed and strong functional architecture enabling business operation, the security architecture has its own rules and methods to reach the required level of reliability and security, creating constraints that are potentially not aligned with functional requirements. Thanks to their extensive know-how in optimizing security without restraining functional possibilities the Kudelski Group’s experts help increase device security to lower risks and enhance performance early in the design cycle, using hybrid architectures. For existing products, in-depth evaluations are performed in the Group’s state-of-the-art laboratory to assess the security of chipsets, hardware and software components used in IoT devices and ecosystems. The analysis may result in identifying vulnerabilities that could have led to service theft, device cloning or breach of hardware security features to gain control over a system, or in reassuring the client that the device is secure.
• IoT Security Posture Improvement: Once vulnerabilities, flaws and weaknesses are identified, best-in-class technologies are implemented to ensure security controls in embedded systems, software/firmware, communication protocols, platforms and applications. Key management, endpoint authentication, data encryption and hardware-based roots of trust are combined with the latest methods for software security including application code obfuscation and white-box cryptography techniques designed to resist even the most advanced threats.
• IoT Cybercrime Countermeasures: If a system comes under a sustained attack or emerging threat, the IoT Security Center of Excellence has the ability to provide prompt advice and services. Proactively, it can embed sleeper countermeasures into devices which can be activated against threats and carry out rapid prototyping powered by threat intelligence from the Kudelski Security Cyber Fusion Center. In the event intellectual property is infringed upon, Kudelski legal teams can provide support for litigation in almost any court of law globally.
