Helping Samsung ARTIK Strengthen the Security to-end Internet of Things (IoT) Platform
When Samsung launched its ARTIK IoT platform and SmartThings Cloud, one of the key things to consider was security. Security at the device level, safe data exchange, secure access to IoT platform services, and security of data storage.
“Security in the age of IoT means new levels of complexity and risk. Unfortunately, most companies are not prepared to address the challenges of security every link of the chain, from device to IoT cloud.”
– James Stansberry, VICE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER, SAMSUNG
The Solution
At the request of Samsung, Praetorian executed an end-to-end product security evaluation for the ARTIK IoT platform. The solution provided coverage across the entire Samsung ARTIK platform, including the hardware modules, embedded software, cloud APIs, web services, SDKs, and applications. Through the evaluation process, the platform was benchmarked against the latest version of OWASP’s Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), which Praetorian extended to include hardware-related security control categories and verification test cases that are required for a holistic IoT product evaluation. Once the evaluation was completed and through the process of remediation, Samsung was able to strengthen the security across every aspect of its IoT platform, earning an “A” grade from Praetorian.
We chose Praetorian primarily because of the domain expertise … IoT in our case and the security expertise in general. Praetorian had one of the best IoT domain expertise and the security expertise for various areas. What we liked was the fact that the team was very responsive, it had the relevant expertise, and more importantly, the collaborative nature of a resolving issue or improving the overall architecture. The back and forth discussions were very good.”
