Showcase its
European Cybersecurity
Solutions
at the International Cybersecurity Forum (FIC) in Lille,
France
WISeKey Semiconductors
to assist
European
Union in
reaching its goal of becoming
independent in chip power
with 20% global share;
currently, WISeKey IoT has an
installed base of over 1.6
billion chips in virtually all IoT sectors
(smartcards, satellites, smart
cities, drones, anti-counterfeiting, smart lighting, servers,
mobile phones, etc.)
WISeKey’s
products and solutions are
certified as Common Criteria
compliant, and its
Information Security Management System, as
a whole, is certified by an independent
organization against the ISO 27001:2013
standardGeneva,
Switzerland – September 7,
2021: WISeKey International Holding Ltd.
(“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading global
cybersecurity and IoT company today announced that it will
be showcasing its
end-to-end
solutions for
Cybersecurity and IoT at the
International Cybersecurity Forum (FIC), which
will take place from September 7-9, in
Lille,
France.
WISeKey Semiconductors’ latest MS 6003 secure microcontroller is
currently deployed in secure storage applications and FIDO
authentication tokens which are at the core of cybersecurity best
practices across all industries. WISeKey’s current installed
base exceeds 1.6 billion chips in virtually all IoT sectors
(smartcards, smart cities, drones, anti-counterfeiting, smart
lighting, servers, mobile phones, etc.). COVID pandemic
resulted in a global disruption of the supply chain for
semiconductors, and WISeKey Semiconductors, the French based
subsidiary of WISeKey, is making a significant contribution towards
the European Union’s Digital Compass plan, initiated in early 2021,
which has set a goal of producing a fifth of the advanced
semiconductors supply worldwide. As part of the Digital Compass
plan, the EU will invest approximately 140 billion euros into the
digital sector over the next two to three years. This E.U. vision
echoes the U.S. pursuit of a tech supply chain that is
independent of China.
WISeKey is uniquely positioned to assist in this endeavor with
its French semiconductors-based Cybersecurity solutions. Indeed,
WISeKey’s MS 6003 secure microcontroller has recently been awarded
the Common Criteria EAL5+ Certification by the French National
Agency for IT Security (Agence de Sécurité des Systèmes
d’Informations - ANSSI).
WISeKey’s original unique approach, as a recognized long-time
established provider of hardware and software cybersecurity
solutions, is based on the concept of certified Root-to-Chip
security. From its WebTrust stamped Certification Authority service
(Public Key Infrastructure [PKI] Root-of-Trust) to its Common
Criteria certified secure element embedded into the connected
object, all the links in the security chain are consistent and
independently evaluated by third parties. The protection it
provides against cyber-insecurity is complete.
WISeKey sets the security bar even higher. Not only are the
products and solutions certified as Common Criteria compliant, but
also the Company’s Information Security Management System, as a
whole, is certified by an independent organization against the ISO
27001:2013 standard. This is a guarantee that, from the building to
the employees and from the IT architecture to the documentation
system, the state-of-the-art security policies are in place to
offer a first-in-class consistent security service.
In 2018, WISeKey had also received ANSSI’s security Visa label
for the Common Criteria security certification of its MS6001 Rev. E
secure microcontroller (certification report ANSSI-CC-2018/02). The
security Visas issued by ANSSI allow users to easily identify
reliable cyber security solutions that are recognized as such
following an evaluation performed in accordance with rigorous and
approved methods by licensed evaluation laboratories. This
evaluation involves in-depth conformity analysis and penetration
testing to make sure that the solutions are compliant with the
targeted security need. A security Visa takes the form of a
certification or qualification, depending on the context and the
need. Security Visas are a security guarantee for the users.
“Only very few companies in the world are able to maintain such
a high certified security standard to offer the best solutions
against cybercrime. WISeKey is one of them,” says Bernard Vian,
General Manager of WISeKey Semiconductors. “The unique expertise we
have been building, from the inception of the first banking systems
in the late nineties until now, is an insurance for our customers.
The security Visa and the ISO 27001 certification are just evidence
of this dedication.”
WISeKey is also showcasing on the FIC, its new NanoSeal® secure
NFC chips that can be attached to any brand product for unmatched
security, cloud-based authentication, traceability, and consumer
engagement. The cryptographic functions of these WISeKey’s NFC
chips, integrated with the complete WISeAuthentic ecosystem, offer
an efficient way for brands to replace traditional non-secure QR
code scanning or basic NFC tags. Moreover, the featured tamper
detection sensors combined with single-tap Android and iOS
compatibility, extends the possibilities and disrupts
direct-to-consumer digital strategies.
Various industries already benefit from this ecosystem including
fashion & sports apparel, cosmetics, wines & spirits,
consumer products, medicines, and luxury goods. The original tamper
detection sensors play a pivotal role in WISeKey’s proposed
enriched customer experience: upon the status of these sensors, the
brand’s messaging to the consumer can be adapted, giving packaging
some intelligence.
