Keysight, Synopsys Partner for IoT Device Cybersecurity

Keysight Technologies Inc. and Synopsys Inc. are providing internet of things (IoT) device makers with a comprehensive cybersecurity assessment solution to ensure consumers are protected when devices are shipped to market.

Under the partnership arrangement, the Synopsys Defensics fuzzing tool will be embedded as an option into the Keysight IoT Security Assessment solution.

The global IoT device market is experiencing notable growth due to the rise in adoption of IoT devices and is projected to reach a market value of $413.7 billion by 2031. According to Palo Alto Networks IoT Threat Report, the vulnerability of IoT devices makes them easy targets with 57 percent of IoT devices at risk of medium or high-severity attacks.

With the addition of Defensics to the Keysight IoT Security Assessment, users now have a complete, comprehensive solution that combines known vulnerability assessments with a versatile fuzzer that can analyze more than 300 technology protocols used across diverse industries to test for unknown vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

In addition to reporting security flaws uncovered through fuzzing, the solution detects potential exploits resulting from weak authentication and encryption, expired certificates, Android vulnerabilities and Android Debug Bridge (ADB) exposures, known common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs), and embedded flaws in protocol stacks, such as Bluetooth Low Energy attacks like Sweyntooth and Braktooth.
