new White House cybersecurity standards

platform reduces costs while speeding time-to-market
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) announces support for
the voluntary national standard for consumer internet of things
(IoT) cybersecurity labeling program unveiled by the Biden-Harris
Administration at the White House this morning. Known as the U.S.
Cyber Trust Mark, the IoT labeling program outlines a set of
cybersecurity standards devised by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC).
According to anti-virus and computer security service provider
Kaspersky, cyberattacks on IoT devices more than doubled
year-over-year in the first half of 2021. With the proliferation in
the number of IoT devices and cyberattacks, consumers have become
increasingly vulnerable to security breaches. Safeguarding
consumers can be difficult for IoT device makers as cybersecurity
testing is complex and expensive, with many manufacturers lacking
security expertise.
“The internet of things is enormous and getting cybersecurity at
scale will be crucial,” said Michael Bergman, Vice President,
Technology & Standards, Consumer Technology Association.
“Automated cybersecurity validation for consumer IoT has huge
potential for companies to make their compliance uniform and
repeatable.”
Keysight makes it easy and cost-effective for manufacturers to
comply with the new White House IoT labeling standard and achieve
certification right now with the Keysight IoT Security Assessment.
This turnkey cybersecurity certification platform enables automated
validation through a point-and-click interface, allowing device
makers to quickly bring new IoT products to market without hiring a
large team of cybersecurity experts.
Unlike disparate solutions, which require users to assemble and
separately manage multiple tools, Keysight’s IoT Security
Assessment combines traditional vulnerability assessment with a
patented protocol fuzzing engine to provide a comprehensive report
on discovered security flaws. Reports include information regarding
Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) vulnerabilities such
as weak authentication and encryption, expired certificates,
Android vulnerabilities and ADB exposures, known CVEs, and embedded
flaws in protocol stacks, such as Bluetooth Low Energy attacks like
Sweyntooth and Braktooth.
Anne Neuberger, Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber
and Emerging Technologies, said: “The U.S. Cyber Trust Mark
will give consumers a way to know if the smart devices they’re
purchasing are secure, and give companies a label to show their
products meet cybersecurity standards. Together with our industry
partners, we are making our homes, classrooms, and workplaces safer
and less vulnerable to cyberattacks.”
Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager,
Network Test & Security Solutions, Keysight, said: “The
cybersecurity landscape is constantly shifting, with a nonstop
stream of new threats and vulnerabilities. By using the Keysight
IoT Security Assessment, device designers and manufacturers can
mitigate potential security issues. The solution automates the
testing and validation process to reduce costs while speeding
time-to-market.”
Satish Dhanasekaran, President and Chief Executive Officer,
Keysight, said: “Connected devices of all types are reshaping
the world around us – from healthcare and connected cars to
consumer electronics and industrial controls. As a leader in IoT,
6G, and other new technologies, Keysight strongly supports the new
IoT cybersecurity labeling standards introduced by the White House.
We are pleased to share our expertise and tools to help enable
device makers to quickly meet these critical new standards to
safeguard consumers and manufacturers.”
