Variscite and Check Point Partner to Enhance IoT/Embedded Device Security
27 Febbraio 2025 - 5:31PM
Business Wire
Variscite, a leading worldwide System on Module (SoM) designer,
developer and manufacturer, today announced a partnership with
Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a pioneer
and global leader of cybersecurity solutions, that will
dramatically increase IoT/Embedded device security to defend
against sophisticated cyberattacks.
Check Point Quantum IoT Protect, powered by the Nano Agent,
strengthens built-in firmware security and delivers comprehensive
device-level protection. It safeguards against unauthorized access,
secures logins, protects user data and privacy, and enhances
workload security and system hardening. The Nano Agent defends
connected devices against even the most advanced cyber threats,
including denial-of-service attacks, malware, botnets, exploits,
known and zero-day vulnerabilities.
Thanks to this collaboration, Variscite customers will be able
to access and use Check Point Nano Agent with Variscite’s full line
of SoMs, complementing Variscite’s own built-in security and
extending cyber protection to the entire device. The
small-footprint software requires minimal storage, memory, and CPU
requirements, and is easy to implement by installing on top of
Variscite’s software platform without any editing of Variscite
drivers.
Nano Agent also enables device manufacturers to comply with the
EU’s new Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which introduced mandatory
security requirements for connected devices to protect consumers,
businesses, and critical infrastructure from cyber threats.
"IoT and edge devices are inherently vulnerable, often left
unpatched or outdated by end users, making them prime targets for
cybercriminals," said Miri Ofir, R&D Director at Check Point.
"By integrating the Nano Agent into their Variscite-based designs,
developers can seamlessly secure the device, application, and data
from the design stage while ensuring compliance with cybersecurity
regulations. The Nano Agent reduces the need for frequent patching
by employing advanced protection and mitigation techniques to
proactively block attacks."
“This partnership gives Variscite customers trusted, proven
security solutions from one of the world’s leading cybersecurity
companies, ease of integration, and ease of management,” said Ofer
Austerlitz, VP Business Development and Sales for Variscite. “This
collaboration benefits organizations worldwide who wish to ensure
their products meet existing and future security regulations, such
as the coming CRA in the EU.”
