Wibu-Systems has revolutionized digital certificate management with its new solution, CodeMeter Certificate Vault. This advanced tool, fully compliant with the PKCS#11 standard, integrates effortlessly with CodeMeter’s secure hardware dongles, providing an enhanced system for certificate logistics and management. Recently, it earned the prestigious AWS IoT Greengrass 2.12.0 qualification, highlighting its excellence in hardware security integration.

Digital certificates are used in everything from regular email communication or websites to the most modern industrial automation setups that depend on multiple entities with reliable identities communicating with each other in complex legacy and new hardware and software setups. In PKI architectures, certificates rely on asymmetric key pairs: a public key that is exposed and acts like a real-life passport or ID card and a private key that remains with the owner; both together are a virtual guarantee that the identity of the bearer is genuine. However, the safe storage of the private keys is the natural weak spot of many certificates.

Wibu-Systems has brought its decades of experience with cryptographically secure license creation, management, and storage to the certificate world to address this problem. Its solution, CodeMeter Certificate Vault, uses CmDongles, secure hardware elements to hold the private keys and run the necessary cryptographic operations within the embedded smart card chip from Infineon. This equips enterprises and private users who do not have access to high-end hardware secure modules with a safe repository for their digital identities.

CodeMeter Certificate Vault stands as the quintessential tool for securely storing and utilizing X.509 certificates, alongside safeguarding encrypted software license keys within a robust hardware dongle. Designed as a PKCS#11 compliant token provider, it ensures that keys nestled in CmDongles remain impenetrable, shielded against any form of duplication or tampering. This level of security ensures that applications leveraging the PKCS#11 interface find a seamless ally in CodeMeter Certificate Vault. Furthermore, its compatibility extends through OpenSSL integration, paving the way for seamless incorporation with diverse applications, including OPC UA servers. Engineered to work with RSA 2048 encryption, CodeMeter Certificate Vault is not just a solution but a fortress for digital security, redefining the standards of protection in the digital realm.

Now, CodeMeter Certificate Vault has just earned the prestigious AWS IoT Greengrass badge. This qualification not only underscores its seamless hardware security integration but also aligns it with the AWS service renowned for empowering edge devices. By facilitating local computation, messaging, data caching, synchronization, and Machine Learning inference, AWS IoT Greengrass enables devices to function autonomously while maintaining cloud connectivity for comprehensive management and storage solutions. This achievement marks a significant milestone for CodeMeter Certificate Vault, reaffirming its commitment to providing cutting-edge security solutions that meet the dynamic needs of the embedded technology landscape.

For Marco Blume, Product Manager at Wibu-Systems, the new qualification badge is a mark of maturity for CodeMeter Certificate Vault: “Security in the online world often depends on identities – the ability to know and trust that the service, device, or person one is dealing with is indeed who they say they are. With AWS IoT Greengrass qualification, our authentication solution enters a new phase where innovation and optimized performance increase customer confidence, contributing to the popularity of the solution.”

Nozomi Networks has launched the Nozomi TI Expansion Pack, now generally available. Powered by Mandiant Threat Intelligence, this federated solution enhances and simplifies how industrial and enterprise CISOs and their teams anticipate, diagnose, and respond to cyber threats across critical business operations.

With the Nozomi TI Expansion Pack, Nozomi Networks customers now have the option to enrich Nozomi Networks threat intelligence with Mandiant Threat Intelligence to gain more comprehensive access to real-time information about threats to their IT, OT and IoT systems.

“The cybersecurity threat landscape is rapidly evolving, with attacks growing in both number and impact enterprise-wide,” said Edgard Capdevielle, Nozomi Networks CEO. “To minimize risk and maximize operational resilience, CISOs and their security teams need comprehensive solutions that enable them to quickly assess and respond to threats across their IT, OT and IoT systems. We are pleased to be able to give our customers the option to easily incorporate Mandiant’s world-class threat intelligence as part of a whole solution that delivers superior security outcomes.”

“For nearly a decade, Mandiant and Nozomi Networks have partnered to deliver advanced, AI-powered OT and IoT security solutions to customers,” said Melissa Smith, Google Cloud’s Head of Strategy & Technology Partnerships. “This latest expansion is another critical step in our journey to combine threat intelligence sources and defenses to deliver the best possible security outcomes for the world’s critical infrastructure. By blending Mandiant’s threat intelligence and expertise with Nozomi Networks’ OT threat intelligence and tools, we can enable critical infrastructure organizations to enhance their threat intelligence and investigations for a stronger defense.”

Nozomi Networks customers who wish to gain comprehensive access to real-time information about threats to their IT, OT and IoT systems now have access to an integrated threat feed that combines the breadth and depth of Mandiant’s threat intelligence with Nozomi Networks’ industry-leading OT threat intelligence. The Nozomi TI Expansion Pack extends Nozomi Networks’ advanced OT and IoT threat intelligence by providing organizations with a deeper understanding of the coinciding IT threat landscape. This makes it possible to holistically monitor and respond to emerging threats for the strongest possible security outcomes.

Nozomi Threat Intelligence Cards

Vantage Threat Cards, also announced today, are a new presentation capability in Nozomi Vantage, the company’s cloud-based OT/IoT cyber management console. Vantage Threat Cards revolutionize the way users access and derive value from threat intelligence feeds. These cards logically cluster and organize threat data, offering instant access to critical information such as:

  • Threat descriptions
  • First and last seen dates
  • Exploitation status and vectors
  • Targeted industries and countries
  • MITRE ATT&CK details
  • Mitigation suggestions
  • And more

Users can swiftly narrow down threats by filtering based on specific countries and regions, ensuring they receive the most relevant information for their needs. Vantage Threat Cards empower OT and IoT cyber teams to quickly scan and filter key threat information, significantly speeding up response times and enhancing accuracy. Analysts can easily input an IP address, domain name, hash or threat actor alias to identify any associated rules, streamlining the identification process. The integration of Mandiant Threat Intelligence will be used throughout the Vantage solution to enhance our offering even further. Updates to the vulnerability data include:

  • Improved CVSS mapping
  • Detailed summaries
  • Lists of vulnerable products
  • Exploitation details
  • MITRE ATT&CK details
  • Workarounds and vendor fixes
  • Links back to Threat Cards and malware groups

These enhancements ensure comprehensive coverage and deeper insights into vulnerabilities, enabling more effective threat management.

The Nozomi TI Expansion Pack is available now for customers using Nozomi Networks’ on-premises and cloud-based monitoring solutions. Vantage customers have the added benefit of accessing the new threat intelligence feed through Nozomi Threat Cards.

Ivanti announced its participation in the 2024 Verizon Mobile Security Index report, which highlights the latest mobile security threats and offers strategies for protecting organizations. As the Everywhere Work trend drives increased reliance on mobile and IoT devices, the number of connected devices is growing rapidly, leading to higher security risks. With less-secure devices connecting to business networks, mobile security must be a priority. Now in its seventh edition, this year’s report extends beyond employee mobile usage to address the expanding role of IoT devices and sensors and the associated security challenges.

The Verizon Business 2024 Mobile Security Index report helps inform cybersecurity decisions for leaders of businesses of all sizes and in key sectors. As mobile and IoT threats rise, the need for robust security measures has never been greater. The report identifies top mobile security threats across the evolving threat landscape.

“We are delighted to collaborate with Verizon on their annual Mobile Security Index report. Our contribution aims to shed light on the dynamic and evolving mobile threat landscape—specifically as it relates to edge devices,” said Chris Goettl, VP Product Management at Ivanti. “Edge devices are an appealing target for sophisticated cyber attackers because they are hard to fully monitor and serve as entry points into an organization’s network – which can result in data breaches and significant operational disruptions. This report identifies trends in threat actor behavior and how security professionals can safeguard their organization and better understand the various threats to their mobile environments.”

As with previous reports, it’s been a collaboration with leading industry players—including Lookout, Jamf among others.

“The insights and analysis from Ivanti for the 2024 MSI underscore the growing risks in mobile and IoT landscapes,” said Mike Caralis, VP of Business Markets, Verizon Business. “Ivanti’s deep comprehension of the intricacies and risks tied to mobile and IoT devices has significantly enhanced this year’s report.”

In addition to the report, experts from Ivanti and Verizon will be hosting a webinar on minimizing risk to get better visibility and control on September 19 at 2:00 p.m. CDT. To register for the event, please visit here.
