ARTIK™ IoT platform hardens critical end point
security to create the first compliant platform for secure access
to Samsung products and the SmartThings Cloud ecosystem.
Samsung Developer Conference – Samsung Electronics Co.
Ltd. today announced ARTIK™ secure “s” systems-on-modules and
services for the ARTIK™ IoT Platform to strengthen edge security.
Samsung ARTIK™ IoT platform now delivers device-to-cloud security
for companies to build, develop and manage secure, interoperable,
and intelligent IoT products and services for everything from smart
homes to high-tech factories. In addition, Samsung announced that
the ARTIK™ IoT platform will fully integrate with the SmartThings
Cloud — Samsung’s new unified IoT platform. This will enable
interoperability with both Samsung and third-party IoT devices and
IoT cloud services.

The Samsung ARTIK™ IoT Platform with SmartThings Cloud will
provide everything companies need to quickly develop secure IoT
products and services including production-ready hardware, software
and tools, cloud services and a growing partner ecosystem. The
addition of new ARTIK™ secure IoT modules enables device-level
protection for safe data exchange, interoperability, and secure
access to ARTIK™ IoT services including device onboarding,
orchestration, management, and over-the-air updates.
“Security in the age of IoT means new levels of complexity and
risk. The next generation of IoT products and services will be more
deeply integrated into our lives than ever before,” said James
Stansberry, Senior Vice President and General Manager of ARTIK™
IoT, Samsung Electronics. “Unfortunately, most companies are not
prepared to address the challenges of securing every link of the
chain, from device to IoT cloud. With the ARTIK™ IoT Platform and
our new security hardened system-on-modules, we make it easier and
more affordable for companies to adopt best security practices and
deliver trustworthy products that will shape the future of
IoT.”
New ARTIK™ Secure Systems-on-Modules
The new ARTIK™ secure IoT modules combine hardware-backed
security with pre-integrated memory, processing, and connectivity
for a broad range of IoT applications, from simple edge nodes like
sensors and controllers, to home appliances, healthcare monitors,
and gateways for smart factories. This helps protect data and
prevent devices from being taken over, disabled, or used
maliciously.
“The New ARTIK™ secure systems-on-modules provide the
performance and security features we need for our new Samsung IoT
appliances,” said Youngsoo Do, Senior Vice President of Digital
Control Group at Samsung Electronics. “Together, Samsung ARTIK™
platform and SmartThings Cloud will create opportunities to help us
to get to market faster and safely deliver new services that will
enrich the lives of our customers.”
ARTIK™ secure IoT modules provide a strong root of trust from
device-to-cloud with a factory-injected unique ID and keys stored
in tamper-resistant hardware. Samsung’s public key infrastructure
(PKI) enables mutual authentication to the cloud to identify each
device on the network and support whitelisting. Customers can use
the new Secure Boot feature and code signing portal to validate
software authenticity on start-up. In addition, the secure IoT
modules provide a hardware-protected Trusted Execution Environment
(TEE) with a secure operating system and security library to
process, store, and manage sensitive resources, including keys and
tokens on devices. Information is protected using FIPS 140-2 data
encryption and secure data storage.
“Hardening the security of IoT devices once the product has been
deployed is extremely difficult,” said Vikrant Gandhi, Digital
Transformation Industry Director at Frost & Sullivan.
“Manufacturers must use components that have built-in defenses for
both device and data integrity. ARTIK™ IoT platform’s new security
measures provide this protection from the start, and helps
companies operate more safely in the Internet of Things.”
ARTIK™ “s” secure IoT modules will be available on November 30
through Samsung ARTIK™ channel partners. The ARTIK™ IoT Platform
and ARTIK™ cloud services are available today.
Ecosystem Expansion
Samsung’s new SmartThings Cloud will unite all of the company’s
existing IoT cloud services – Samsung Connect Cloud and ARTIK Cloud
– into one consolidated IoT cloud platform. This seamless, open
ecosystem will allow better and easier connectivity across an
expanded set of devices and services from home to industrial
applications.
In addition to today’s announcements, Samsung continues to
expand the ARTIK™ IoT Platform and accelerate businesses’ path to
profitability. This expansion includes the recent launch of the new
ARTIK™ service to monetize data from interoperable devices and
enable an IoT data economy, as well as the addition of Ubuntu, the
industry’s most familiar Linux distribution, on ARTIK™ high
performance system-on-modules. Earlier this month, Samsung – as a
member of the Industry Council (ITI) – also announced a commitment
to enable a National IoT Strategy Dialogue that is open,
collaborative and secure.
