ZIENZIEN, a convergence security specialist company, is set to unveil 'Z-GRC', an AI-powered IoT security certification platform, at the cybersecurity conference 'ISEC 2024' which will be held from October 16th to 17th.
Recently, as the types of IoT devices such as home appliances, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities have diversified, countries overseas have been strengthening security regulations. In Korea, there are also voices from institutions calling for enhanced security regulations. ZIEN has introduced an AI-based compliance automation system to provide solutions that allow customers to pre-check compliance with security regulations and proceed to security certification applications, aiming to build a safe IoT device ecosystem.
Z-GRC is a SaaS solution that simulates whether IoT devices can pass domestic and international security certification regulations. It automatically checks certification eligibility without the need for specialized knowledge, simply by using the platform. Its strengths include providing AI-based customized patches and response guides for each company's devices, and automatically generating certification preparation documents, maximizing efficiency by shortening the time required for security certification and potentially accelerating product launch timelines.
The Z-GRC platform not only automatically checks domestic IoT security certifications such as KISA but also international security regulations like 'ETSI EN 303 645' and 'NIST IR 8425'. This platform automatically analyzes IoT security policies and IoT firmware vulnerabilities, collecting device security configuration information in real-time. It evaluates whether security policies are appropriately established for this data and analyzes various security elements such as ▲IoT device firmware password management ▲encryption protocols ▲open source components to detect potential risk factors and vulnerabilities in advance. AI analyzes the latest security threat trends and corporate system structures to suggest preemptive response strategies. The progress of security certification items and vulnerability analysis results can be intuitively checked through a dashboard, displaying data on security regulations and compliance status of each country, enabling efficient preparation for global market entry.
ZIEN CEO Young-min Cho said, "As the types of IoT devices diversify, security regulations are becoming stricter, but there is a shortage of personnel to check them," adding, "We hope that companies focusing on IoT device development will be able to efficiently enter the market by pre-checking domestic and international security regulations through our Z-GRC platform."
Meanwhile, ZIEN specializes in IoT firmware security automatic inspection solutions, having previously conducted a beta service for the 'Z-IoT' platform. Z-IoT automatically inspects the firmware of IoT devices to accurately identify vulnerabilities and provide solutions for enhanced security. In August, ZIEN participated in 'DEF CON 32', a global hacking competition held in Las Vegas, USA, where they presented their research results in the IoT section.
