DigiCert, a pioneering global provider of digital trust, announced the release of PQC for Dummies, DigiCert Special Edition, published by Wiley. This book serves as a primer on the imminent challenges posed by quantum computing and equips organizations with the knowledge and strategies needed to adopt post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to secure their digital infrastructure. The book dives into the critical need to prepare for a post-quantum world, where quantum computing could render current...
ETSI is pleased to announce the 4th Release of TeraFlowSDN, the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controller developed by Software Development Group TFS. Release 4 brings a large suite of new features designed to provide Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) integration, end-to-end Network Automation and Monitoring, and significant improvements in Network Management, Optical Networks, Security and Blockchain Integration, among others. Quantum key distribution South Bound Interface has grow...
In response to the growing uptake of GlobalPlatform’s Security Evaluation Standard for IoT Platforms (SESIP) methodology, the organization has introduced several initiatives to further accelerate adoption. These include the launch of new certification stamps, expanding the number of labs and certification bodies (CB), new partnerships and the creation of an adopter program. Together, this raises the bar for IoT security by enabling the adoption of the methodology across new sectors, use...
Speakers at the 10th ETSI/IQC Quantum Safe Cryptography Conference have called on organizations to prepare their cybersecurity infrastructures to address the challenges of a post-quantum world. Organized by ETSI and the Institute for Quantum Computing, this year’s conference was hosted from 14-16 May by the Center for Quantum Technologies (CQT), National University of Singapore (NUS), in partnership with the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA)&nb...
GlobalPlatform’s Security Evaluation Standard for IoT Platforms (SESIP) methodology has been adopted as the basis for a European Standard (EN) by the European Committee for Standardization, CEN and CENELEC. The standard is working to help the IoT ecosystem address regulatory fragmentation and better understand, deploy and explain security. “This is all about raising the bar for IoT security,” comments Eve Atallah, GlobalPlatform SESIP Sub-Task Force Chair. “Security in I...
GlobalPlatform, the standard for secure digital devices and services, will host a Security Evaluation Standard for IoT Platforms (SESIP) methodology seminar in Barcelona on October 19. The full-day seminar explores how the methodology is positioned in the context of European regulations and offers an optimized approach for evaluating the security of connected products that meet the specific compliance, security, privacy, and scalability challenges of the evolving IoT ecosystem. IoT r...
SALTO Systems has become one of the first electronic access control manufacturers to achieve Secured by Design’s new ‘Secure Connected Device’ accreditation for IoT products. With the Government soon to introduce new legislation in the shape of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Bill, coupled with a growing demand from Industry and current members seeking to gain accreditation for IoT (Internet of Things) products, Secured by Design has launched...
ETSI is pleased to announce a new specification, ETSI TS 103 523-1: Part 1 of the Middlebox Security Protocol (MSP) series, which defines the security properties of a Middlebox Security Protocol. Middleboxes are vital in modern networks from new 5G deployments, with ever-faster networks that need performance management, to resisting new cyberattacks with evolved threat defense that copes with encrypted traffic, to VPN provision. The industry needs middlebox technology to keep pace with these a...
The Radio Equipment Directive which is applicable for most wireless equipment also in the fire and security industry looks to be prepared for an update where cybersecurity requirements will become part of the directive and with that part of the CE-marking. While Euralarm supports the need for increased cybersecurity, the fire and security industry will preferably support a horizontal cybersecurity regulation. Nevertheless, if embedded in the RED, Euralarm wants to ensure that the technical aspe...
ETSI's new Industry Specification Group on Securing Artificial Intelligence (ISG SAI) announced that they met recently for their second meeting and appointed Alex Leadbeater (BT) as the Industry Specification Group’s new Chair. Dr. Kate Reed (NCSC) was appointed as First Vice Chair and Tieyan Li (Huawei) was appointed as Second Vice Chair. The second meeting of the ISG SAI, after the launch of the group in October 2019, was also the place to discuss work priorities and future scope of act...
The ETSI Industry Specification Group (ISG) for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) has started working on its next specification release, known as Release 4. While NFV-based deployments are expanding worldwide and show the benefits of network function virtualization, new technologies are expected to be leveraged and features are being added in support of 5G and novel fixed access network deployments that are emerging in many countries. Network Functions Virtualization-based deployments The...
