- Synopsys Defensics® fuzz testing software embedded into
Keysight’s IoT Security Assessment solution
- Turnkey automated internet of things testing and validation
platform reduces costs while speeding time-to-market
- Solution enables device makers to comply with new White House
cybersecurity standards
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) and Synopsys, Inc. are
partnering to provide internet of things (IoT) device makers with a
comprehensive cybersecurity assessment solution to ensure consumers
are protected when devices are shipped to market. Under the
arrangement, the Synopsys Defensics® fuzzing tool will be embedded
as an option into the Keysight IoT Security Assessment
solution.
The global IoT device market is experiencing notable growth due
to the rise in adoption of IoT devices and is projected to reach a
market value of $413.7 billion by 2031. According to Palo Alto
Networks IoT Threat Report, the vulnerability of IoT devices makes
them easy targets with 57% of IoT devices at risk of medium or
high-severity attacks. With the proliferation of devices and of IoT
cyberattacks, device makers are increasingly in need of assessment
tools to identify and remediate device security vulnerabilities.
One component of an effective, comprehensive security assessment is
fuzzing, an automated software testing method that injects invalid,
malformed, or unexpected inputs into a device to reveal defects and
vulnerabilities.
With the addition of Defensics to the Keysight IoT Security
Assessment, users now have a complete, comprehensive solution that
combines known vulnerability assessments with a versatile fuzzer
that can analyze over 300 different technology protocols used
across diverse industries to quickly test for unknown
vulnerabilities and weaknesses. In addition to reporting security
flaws uncovered through fuzzing, the solution detects potential
exploits resulting from weak authentication and encryption, expired
certificates, Android vulnerabilities and Android Debug Bridge
(ADB) exposures, known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs),
and embedded flaws in protocol stacks, such as Bluetooth Low Energy
attacks like Sweyntooth and Braktooth.
In addition, the Keysight IoT Security Assessment solution makes
it easy and cost-effective for manufacturers to test IoT devices
now and achieve the new White House Cyber Trust Mark certification
when it is released. 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.
Scott Johnson, Vice President of Product Management, Synopsys
Software Integrity Group, said: “With billions of IoT devices
in use and more on the way, security testing is more critical than
ever to address new threats and evolving regulations. Our
collaboration with Keysight will provide a comprehensive solution
for customers that combines hardware and Defensics fuzz testing
software to conduct automated IoT security testing.”
Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager,
Network Test & Security Solutions, Keysight, said:
“Securing IoT devices against attacks has become exponentially more
difficult for manufacturers with the demand for new devices and
increased functionality. By partnering with Synopsys to add their
best-of-breed fuzzing tool, Keysight can provide device makers with
a comprehensive security testing solution to identify previously
unknown protocol stack vulnerabilities in their devices while
assessing them for known threats, all from a single, easy-to-use
interface.”
