Infineon's security chips are the first to receive CLS-Ready certification from the Singapore Cyber Security Agency
Infineon Technologies AG's OPTIGA™ Trust M security chip has become the first security platform to be CLS-Ready certified by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA). As the number of IoT devices increases, so does the number of cyber-attack incidents. But the security issues of Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Things (IoTT) devices are often overlooked, and people often don't realize the seriousness of the problem until hackers have managed to compromise the device. In response to growing cybersecurity threats, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) launched the Cyber Security Labelling Scheme (CLS) in 2020.
OPTIGA™ Trust M Security Chip
The CLS rates consumer-grade IoT devices based on their ability to withstand cyber-attacks, in a total of four security levels. The label allows end users to clearly see the safety level of the device and helps them easily identify high-safety products without having to delve into various safety terms and specifications.
The new CLS-Ready program makes it easier for manufacturers of smart products, especially small and medium-sized businesses, and manufacturers of products and systems not traditionally involved in cybersecurity, to meet the highest CLS 4 security level requirements by streamlining the certification process. In the CLS-Ready program, smart product manufacturers can take hardware components that have passed CLS 4 safety level testing and integrate them into commercial products. Therefore, any product built on the CLS-Ready platform can rely on the platform's existing certification system to achieve CLS 4 security level requirements.
As a CLS-Ready certified security platform, Infineon's OPTIGA™ Trust M security chip can help customers save a lot of testing costs and time, and reduce technical and operational risks. Because the platform's security features are powered by Infineon and tested by third-party security labs accredited by the CLS program, smart product manufacturers can gain greater security directly from the OPTIGA™ Trust M security chip, without the need for Start designing yourself.
The global acceptance of the CLS program is also increasing due to the mutual recognition of the CLS program in different countries, which will allow more and more manufacturers around the world to gain access to CLS-Ready certified OPTIGA™ Trust M security chips. beneficial.
