Swissbit to Debut at Black Hat USA 2025
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Swissbit, a leading manufacturer of storage and security solutions, will make its debut at Black Hat USA on August 6–7, 2025, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. At booth #6025, Swissbit will showcase its unique approach to cybersecurity – protecting the often-neglected physical layer of connected systems, from IoT and industrial equipment to critical infrastructure and edge devices. All Swissbit products, including its latest security innovations, are manufactured in Germany to ensure a transparent supply chain, industrial-grade quality, and trusted reliability. Exposing the hidden risk: physical access to embedded systems While much focus is placed on cloud and AI infrastructure, a critical security gap remains: Physical attacks on embedded and edge systems. Often deployed in remote or exposed environments, these systems are vulnerable to tampering and data theft. From smart meters and PLCs to drones, the consequences can be serious. Swissbit addresses this threat with plug-and-play, hardware-based solutions that secure both new and legacy systems, without the need for major redesigns. 'We're excited to bring Swissbit's expertise to Black Hat for the first time,' said Claus Gründel, General Manager Security Solutions at Swissbit. 'Physical attacks are a growing risk that many still underestimate. We provide easy-to-integrate, hardware-based security that protects systems and data at the edge, where software alone isn't enough.' Hardware-based protection for data and devices At Black Hat, Swissbit will demonstrate secure storage products such as microSD cards with AES-256 encryption and secure boot capabilities. These solutions retrofit embedded systems and protect edge-generated data like video and sensor streams from unauthorized access. By enabling compliance with regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act and NIS2, Swissbit offers a future-proof path to stronger, more sustainable cybersecurity. Bridging digital and physical access with iShield Key 2 Also featured at the Swissbit booth: the new iShield Key 2 series -compact security keys that combine FIDO-based multi-protocol authentication with physical access control. Tailored for enterprise and government use, they integrate secure login and facility entry into a single, robust solution for digital identity and access protection.

Sandvik Mining achieves cybersecurity certification for product development processes
Sandvik Mining has been awarded IEC 62443-4-1 certification at Maturity Level 2, signifying a robust integration of cybersecurity measures into its product design and development. Achieving Maturity Level 2 certification indicates that Sandvik proactively incorporates cybersecurity into its product design, development, testing and maintenance procedures. The IEC 62443-4-1 standard is a globally recognised benchmark for secure product development within industrial automation and control systems. It ensures that products are crafted with cybersecurity considerations from inception, mitigating risks such as cyberattacks and data breaches throughout their life cycle. Sandvik's "secure-by-design" philosophy embeds stringent security protocols early in the equipment and digital solutions design process, inherently reducing vulnerability to cyber threats. This approach prioritises the protection of mining operations without impeding productivity. Sandvik's clientele can benefit from structured and prompt responses to emerging cyber threats, maintaining the security of their equipment throughout its operational life. Sandvik Mining president of digital mining technologies Riku Pulli said: 'We are proud to be among the first in our sector to attain IEC 62443 certification. 'This certification reduces cyber risk and operational disruption, enhances safety and regulatory compliance, strengthens supply chain resilience and provides security assurance for our customers. It emphasises our commitment to cybersecurity and is a signal of trust and readiness in an increasingly connected and threat-prone industrial environment.' The certification encompasses processes for patch management, vulnerability handling and security updates. This achievement positions Sandvik favourably in anticipation of upcoming cybersecurity regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act, which will mandate manufacturers to ensure cybersecurity across a product's life cycle. Sandvik is progressing towards additional certifications to further substantiate the security of its equipment and software solutions, reinforcing customer confidence in deploying Sandvik technologies. Moreover, Sandvik Mining has introduced its AutoMine Surface Fleet solution, a system aimed at revolutionising autonomous drill rig operations. The system is engineered to manage more than 15 Sandvik surface i-series drill rigs, enabling remote operations from any connected location, thereby enhancing flexibility and minimising downtime, especially during shift changes.

Torizon collaborates with TI to Simplify Cybersecurity Compliance & Accelerate Development of Connected Embedded Systems
Torizon partners with TI to help manufacturers meet strict cybersecurity regulations like the EU CRA, streamlining development with secure, Arm-based processors HORW, LUCERNE, SWITZERLAND, February 28, 2025 / / -- Torizon is excited to announce a strategic collaboration designed to help manufacturers of industrial and medical devices meet increasingly stringent cybersecurity regulations—such as those imposed by the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)—while streamlining application development. This collaboration leverages TI's robust, Arm®-based, Linux®-capable processors alongside Torizon's modern software development environment. As new global security regulations demand frequent secure updates, comprehensive Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), continuous security monitoring, secure storage, secure boot, and more, the partnership addresses the urgent need for a simplified and efficient development process. Key Benefits of Combining TI Arm-based Processors and Torizon: 1. Simplified Cybersecurity Compliance: Torizon Security, combined with the state-of-the-art TI hardware security features such as a dedicated secure enclave allows us to comply with current and upcoming standards. The partnership simplifies access to these features with a full stack solution, from the hardware, to software such as operating systems, up to services such as security scans and remote update systems. 2. Accelerated Time-to-Market: With Torizon's modern development tools, such as Visual Studio Code Plugin and simple OS Configuration Tools, engineers can rapidly prototype and deploy secure, innovative applications and bring them to production for critical applications in medical and industrial automation — enabling faster market entry and competitive advantage. 3. Optimized Developer Experience: The partnership offers a seamless development environment that enhances productivity. By unifying powerful, artificial intelligence (AI)-capable hardware with an intuitive software ecosystem, including a vast ecosystem of software containers, TI customers benefit from reduced development cycles and increased reliability in device performance. 4.
