ZIENZIEN, a specialized company in converged security for XIoT (Extended Internet of Things), announced on the 28th that it participated in the 'IoT Product Security Certification Seminar' hosted by the Korea Electronics Association (KEA).
This seminar was organized to explain the current status of IoT security certification technology and systems in major countries, the response strategies of companies within those countries, and the methods for diagnosing security vulnerabilities in IoT services, including IoT device firmware.
As IoT devices are widely used in everyday life, such as in smart homes, autonomous driving, and smart cities, there is growing interest in the security of related firmware. Firmware is the software that helps operate the hardware within devices, and experts warn that hacking attacks can threaten user privacy and even user safety.
At the session, ZIEN presented 'Checking IoT Product Security Vulnerabilities and Responding to Security Certification'. The seminar focused on security threats and hacking scenarios in hardware, firmware, and infrastructure, and proposed countermeasures from a hacker's perspective on the key security points of IoT services.
ZIEN also introduced its XIoT firmware security SECaaS (Security as a Service) solution 'Z-IoT', providing information on the environment and precautions for security diagnosis, IoT service configuration and security threats, IoT hacking scenarios, the required resources and requirements for self-security diagnosis, and a security diagnosis checklist to help companies build their security systems.
CEO Youngmin Cho said he hopes this seminar will help companies complement the security vulnerabilities of their IoT devices, and invited more companies to participate in the open beta launch of the Z-IoT service in July to assess its excellence and areas for improvement, in order to strengthen IoT device security in Korea.
ZIEN is a software development company that provides services to analyze IoT device vulnerabilities and discover areas for security improvement. By combining its patented technology, the Z-IoT service can automatically check for vulnerabilities in IoT devices, allowing even non-experts with limited software knowledge to easily inspect the security of their IoT devices.
