To make smart devices around the world more protected, Kaspersky at its Cyber Security Weekend – META event announced plans for signing an agreement with Favoriot, a regional innovator in IoT platforms.
IoT devices are connected with business applications and cloud platforms through business applications. Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 1000 (KISG 1000) ensures the security of these interactions due to the Cyber Immune operating system – KasperskyOS – at its core.
With KISG 1000, the entire IoT system of an organization is protected at the gateway level due to Kaspersky’s secure-by-design approach and built-in protection capabilities.
Specialised solution
“Given the diversity of IoT devices and the related cybersecurity risks, the need for their protection is clear. Traditional measures may not be sufficient for IoT protection, hence specialised security solutions should be implemented,” comments Dr Mazlan Abbas, CEO of Favoriot.
“Favoriot is an innovator in IoT integration, and today at the Cyber Security Weekend in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, we are proud to announce a strategic partnership that is planned to be signed between Favoriot and Kaspersky later in the year. This partnership will see our companies focus on jointly developing the Favoriot IoT platform and Kaspersky’s Cyber Immune IoT Gateway to provide for a safer tomorrow.
Victor Ivanovsky, KasperskyOS Business Development Lead, added: “Kaspersky Cyber Immunity helps organisations operating across multiple industries, such as smart city systems, manufacturing, energy production or others, to get a secure IoT system and visibility across all connected devices. Customers can fully protect their IoT suite, from the gateway to the cloud, and manage it through one centralised administration console. We are happy that together with Favoriot we will be able to bring next-gen cyber protection to more organisations – in the SEA, META regions, and worldwide.”--TradeArabia News Service
