Intertek, a Total Quality Assurance provider to industries
worldwide, announces the first certification for its Cyber Assured
Program, a cybersecurity testing and certification program
providing continuous vulnerability monitoring for connected
products. The certification has been granted to Tastemakers, LLC
for its Arcade1Up NBA JAM™ video game machine with connected
capabilities. The certification illustrates the game’s compliance
with the Cyber Assured security requirements, and that it is
covered by the Continuous Vulnerability Monitoring system, helping
ensure the ongoing overall security of the product.
Intertek’s Cyber Assured Certification Program is the first of
its kind, offering robust cybersecurity testing and certification,
as well as continuous vulnerability monitoring. It enables
manufacturers to assess products to meet security best practices
and emerging regulatory requirements. Most importantly it clearly
demonstrates to potential consumers, and the general public, the
product’s high level of security, as the product carries the
Intertek Cyber Assured Mark and is listed in the Cyber Assured
online directory. This Arcade1Up NBA JAM certification is the
result of rigorous assessment to a comprehensive test plan, and
technical review of development processes. Regular re-testing, and
the unique Continuous Vulnerability Monitoring system allow for the
real time tracking of new cybersecurity risks that could affect the
product, giving the intelligence needed to rapidly patch newly
discovered vulnerabilities, helping ensure the product’s security
over its entire life-cycle.
Tony Walker, Vice President at Intertek, stated: “We launched
Cyber Assured with the goal of providing an end-to-end assurance
solution that goes beyond testing to provide the ongoing monitoring
need to help ensure security over a connected product’s entire
lifecycle. We are thrilled to issue our first Cyber Assured
certification and look forward to our continued efforts to work
with customers to help bring consumers reliable, secure IoT-enabled
products for today’s connected world.”
Scott Bachrach, CEO of Tastemakers, said: “Our products are
constantly evolving and adapting to keep on trend with new upcoming
technologies emerging in our industry. Thanks to Intertek and the
evolution of the Cyber Assurance program, we feel confident that we
will not only be able to keep up with these new tech trends in the
industry but become a driving force in creating them. NBA Jam is
only the beginning of what is still yet to come from Arcade1Up as
we focus on enhancing at-home gaming with online technology.”
