To support IoT companies with the implementation of Zero Trust security architectures to meet emerging cybersecurity standards and combat the rising tide of threats, Silicon Labs has launched its new Security Services portfolio.
The new security offerings complement the company’s Secure Vault technologies with a first-of-its-kind Custom Part Manufacturing Service (CPMS) for wireless SoCs and modules. CPMS is a secure provisioning service that helps IoT developers customise their connected products with advanced security features to safeguard hardware, software and ecosystems. The new offering also includes software development kit (SDK) support services for up to 10 years, covering an IoT product’s entire lifecycle.
According to Omdia’s ‘Enterprise IoT Survey 2021’, IoT security concerns grew 13% in the past year among executives deploying IoT projects. High-profile breaches and hacks of critical infrastructure and household devices have also raised quality concerns among consumers, with malware IoT attacks increasing by 59% in the first six months of 2021 as compared to the first six months of 2020.
“Developers face a daunting challenge driving innovation in IoT products for homes and industries while securing them against ever-evolving threats. Trusted security hardware and software solutions are critical to their success,” said Matt Johnson, president, Silicon Labs. “The days when simple password protection for authentication was sufficient are long gone. Our new Security Services make it easier for developers to implement custom hardware identities and trusted over-the-air security stack updates to reduce the risk of software, hardware and wireless access vulnerabilities.”
With Silicon Labs Security Services, IoT companies can protect against security breaches, intellectual property compromises and counterfeiting. The new services also support global cybersecurity and communication standards, such as the United States executive order mandating the implementation of Zero Trust security architectures, as well as Matter and Wi-SUN requirements for secure identities.
The new services – CPMS and Long-Term Software Development Kit Support Service (LTSSS) – provide trusted and economical security services for IoT products throughout their lifecycle:
A web portal for CPMS makes it easy for developers to securely provision Silicon Labs wireless SoCs and modules with Secure Vault technology features such as secure boot and secure debug, as well as a secure OTA bootloader, customer-specific keys, standard Flash programming and custom identities for Zero Trust architectures.
LTSSS also minimises the need for expensive re-testing and re-certification activities due to code changes and ensures select Silicon Labs GSDK releases are maintained and supported for up to 10 years with security patches and bug fixes.
