NessPRO¸ the software division of Ness¸ signed a distribution agreement with NanoLock Security and have already started distributing NanoLock’s unique technology for protecting and managing IoT and connected edge devices.
NanoLock’s solution secures a wide variety of connected edge devices such as smart meters for electricity and water, security cameras, traffic lights, routers, smart public transportation and critical infrastructure services.
IoT and connected edge devices are the weakest link in the enterprise and public chain of defense, and as such they are a prime target for persistent cyber-attacks¸ such as ransomware and distributed denial–of-service (DDoS). Nanolock‘s technology prevents such attacks by creating a hardware root-of-trust in the flash memory of memory vendors, which is agnostic to the processor and operating system¸ blocking any modification of critical code, while enabling over-the-air firmware upgrades from secured servers.
NanoLock detects and alerts on attacks in real-time, providing reliable data for monitoring and identifying critical patterns and anomalies. This protection blocks cyber-attacks on the devices and their critical applications.
NessPRO is the software distribution arm of Ness Technologies and the Israeli representative of over 30 international and Israeli companies that develop software for the enterprise market. The group is active in the Israeli market for more than 40 years and serves hundreds of customers. In addition to selling software products in various business models¸ NessPRO specializes in integration¸ marketing¸ service¸ training and maintenance of these products.
NanoLock also recently partnered with Teltonika to provide additional optional security layer for its RUT955 professional cellular router. Teltonika’s routers are often deployed in remote locations in the public domain and are recognized by the market as highly secure devices. However¸ as more and more critical infrastructure gets connected into unified systems¸ security threats become increasingly relevant¸ therefore¸ require strong protection from internal and external cyberattacks.
To achieve this high level of security¸ Teltonika has cooperated with NanoLock’s revolutionary cloud-to-flash technology to implement an optional additional security layer.
With NanoLock, IoT and connected edge devices are protected from network and cloud cased attacks as well as internal attacks, even if the attacker has physical access to the device. NanoLock’s lightweight solution requires zero power and processing resources and has no memory constraints nor latency or any effect on device performance. NanoLock enables tight management and control over the IoT and connected edge device network as well as reliable, over–the–air firmware upgrade.
“We are thrilled to cooperate with NessPRO to provide powerful protection to connected edge devices. We believe that securing the flash memory is a critical path in IoT defense¸ because it continues to protect the critical code after all other methods fail¸” said Yoni Kahana¸ VP Customers¸ NanoLock Security.
“The agreement with NanoLock is an important milestone for NessPRO¸ signalling our entrance to IoT device protection era¸ in addition to our long-time activity in the IT systems’ protection domain¸ where we offer leading cyber defense products,” said Dedi Dvorsky¸ NessPRO CEO. “Whether it is smart cities¸ critical national infrastructure¸ smart meters or any other IoT related areas¸ securing these devices is crucial¸ and we are committed to provide a leading solution in this domain as well.”
“IoT usage is rapidly expanding¸ attracting increasing threats from the internet or from malware injection,” said Elad Alter¸ ESM Solutions Department Manager at NessPRO. “NanoLocks’ technology ensures protection and secured management of IoT devices¸ starting from the production phase and throughout the operation period¸ without performance hit.”
