A Milestone for securing the Internet of Things: Infineon welcomes introduction of a voluntary U.S. IoT security label

Today, U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor Anne Neuberger,
Chairwoman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Jessica
Rosenworcel, and Laurie Locascio, Director of the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) unveiled the U.S.
national IoT security label at the White House.
Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) supports this
action to address the growing need for IoT security. The new label
supports the IoT security requirements under NISTIR 8425, which
resulted from an Executive Order to improve the nation’s
cybersecurity. This label will recognize products that meet these
requirements by permitting them to display a U.S. government label
and be listed in a registry indicating that these products meet
U.S. cybersecurity standards.
“Security is crucial for the Internet of Things. Without
sufficient cybersecurity, there cannot be any IoT,” said Thomas
Rosteck, President of Connected Secure Systems, Infineon
Technologies. “As a leading provider of semiconductors for security
and IoT devices, Infineon welcomes the step the U.S. government has
made and fully supports programs to boost cybersecurity for the
Internet of Things. The U.S. label is a significant milestone
towards strong global cybersecurity standards. We believe the
implementation of this program will empower consumers and further
boost the adoption of IoT products in the U.S. and beyond."
Infineon semiconductors provide a secured foundation for many
IoT devices. To demonstrate how easily Infineon products can be
used to build secured IoT devices, Infineon’s IoT development kit
(CY8CKIT-062S2-43012) will seek to obtain the U.S. national label.
Certification of this development kit will help our customers to
create IoT products that are compliant with the U.S. national
label.
Infineon was involved in the development of the IoT label
program through its participation as a member of the Connectivity
Standards Alliance (CSA). The U.S. cybersecurity guidelines are
closely aligned with several CSA standards, including the Matter
standard. Matter provides device manufacturers with a secured
communication standard for a wide range of smart home applications
and thus improves connectivity between smart devices from different
manufacturers. CSA’s Product Security effort (chaired by Infineon)
will certify that IoT devices meet global security requirements,
including those used by the U.S. national label. Together, these
standards move the IoT to a higher level of interoperability and
security.

About Infineon CY8CKIT-062S2-43012 IoT development
kit
The CY8CKIT-062S2-43012 IoT development kit is based on a
low-power, secured PSoC™ 6 microcontroller platform, and also uses
Infineon’s low-power AIROC™ CYW43012 combo device for wireless
connectivity. Infineon’s OPTIGA™ Trust-M security controllers can
be paired with PSoC™ 6 for easy and secured cloud service
provisioning.
