Emerging Technologies and the Cyber Lab

Manufacturers and installers have a responsibility to create secure products and solutions and deliver secure services.

The emergence of technologies such as IoT, OT, Blockchain and 5G raises security issues that organizations need to be aware of.

Unfortunately, there is not always a clear way to demonstrate how secure your products and services are and differentiate yourselves during the procurement process. It can also be hard to navigate the assurance schemes across regulated industries and the government sectors.

BSI can open new markets and place you ahead of competitors in your industry by helping you understand the best assurance frameworks for your organization and achieve conformance though security testing; assisting in the development of risk assessments, and supporting organizations plans to manage their supply chain.

Where emerging technologies are in use, we can help organizations understand potential risks and how to mitigate them.

It can be difficult for organizations to compare the security of different products and services, especially in the emerging technology and IoT sectors. Traditional indicators of trust may not be applicable to emerging technologies, or simply not apply to these implementations.

BSI can help organizations to manage the risks associated with Operational Technology (like ICS and SCADA), Smart products (from watches to lightbulbs), and any other connected devices they may use.
