BIG DATA & ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE 11 DTU HIGH TECH SUMMIT 2019 Watch out ADVERTISEMENT for the real threats The transition from research to commercially viable products has become considerably easier. However, security is now crucial. Søren Mathiasen (standing) and Peter Aagaard Kristensen in one of Prevas’ laboratories, where specialists help to optimize customer projects with regard to cyber security. By Rolf Sylvester-Hvid on behalf of Prevas What does cyber security look like in the development phase? Not so good, right? Many projects start out as great ideas in laboratories and institutes around the world, and focus is very natural on function and application. Networking and communication may play an important role in the future of a new product on the market, but many see just that part of the development as “data over radio” - and there are more ready-made component solutions. But in this context, there is a risk that cyber security will be overlooked, and that makes more new products sensitive to hacking and loss of either data or the basic concept. “Both device and infrastructure must be protected from the very start. Both the market and the authorities today place far more stringent requirements on the safety of electronic and communicating products, which applies not least to medical products, especially if we are to connect an “IoT” on the application”, says Søren Mathiasen from Prevas. In particular, market demands mean that you have to think beyond the technology in the development of new products. Where are the gaps in the transition from development to production? A firewall no longer adequately protects and not at all, as new data infrastructures break with the classic vertical data hierarchies. Avoid expensive overkills For a long time, Prevas has been aware of the security risks involved as large amounts of data are transported between real and fog and cloud - and perhaps to the same degree from edge device to other edge devices. “Today we talk a lot about how to protect the layers in the hardware, the transmission and the different levels from which we must exclude hackers. Much is about an early assessment of the risk level and the importance of the data to be communicated in the cur- who for three years worked in the IEC ACSEC Council (Advanced Committee on Information SECurity and Data). For many years, the company has built up extensive knowledge in product development and in particular communication and security. This has pre- ” Today we talk a lot about how to protect the layers in the hardware, the transmission and the different levels from which we must exclude hackers rent and future infrastructure. Too little is bad, but so is too much. One must protect the application as much as necessary and avoid expensive overkills”, says Prevas’ Peter Aagaard Kristensen. Hence, Prevas has employed a product specialist pared Prevas for advising innovative companies and new players on the market about requirements and opportunities within the regulatory area. How and where do threats arise and how can a smaller or new business economically address the threats? Keeping track of vulnerabilities With up to 100 projects a year, Prevas has extensive experience with effective tools that solve a large number of possible problems before they even arise - among other things with a Linux structure that completely controls the firmware upgrades as part of the standard package. “The threats from the physical world aren’t well defined and may vary along the way. “The dangerous Internet” is not the only source of viruses or hacking. The threats are often two-way and can occur right down to sniffers on keyboards”, explains Søren Mathiasen. Prevas has seen most of what could be expected, and a system like Prevas Cyber S ecurity Intelligence automatically keeps track of whether new vulnerabilities arise in a given product.
