KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 15
(Bernama) -- NRI SecureTechnologies Ltd (NRI Secure) and GE Digital announced that
NRI Secure is the Asia-Pacific region's first independent company recognised as
an accredited certification authority for the Achilles Communications
Certification (ACC) programme worldwide.
The designation permits NRI Secure to independently provide the full ACC service to their customers, from testing and evaluation to certificate issuance.
Through the ACC programme, the company will be evaluating the network robustness of the devices used in connected control systems and operational technology (OT) networks, allowing them to be more confidently used in the industrial Internet.
"We are pleased to have NRI Secure as a third-party certifier of Achilles. Today, many devices and machines, such as turbines, medical devices and control systems are connected to and interact on a connected OT network," said GE Digital senior cyber security director, Felicia Nicastro.
"If control of heavy machinery or physical devices is lost due to a cyber attack, the damage could be significant. These OT environments require OT-specific technology to fortify embedded and connected systems and reduce the risk associated with cyber-related threats," Nicastro said.
Achilles Certification helps ensure products and internal development processes align with industry best practices for testing and network robustness. NRI Secure has been providing a device security diagnosis service for embedded devices, since 2011.
In 2016, NRI Secure became Japan\'s first third party ACC testing lab in that country to support customers in getting certified, and NRI Secure is now a worldwide certification authority.
