Exploiting opportunities, minimizing risks
Connected devices in our homes increase efficiency and quality of life. However, the Internet of Things (IoT) also brings with it risks: cyber attacks, vulnerabilities in cyber security, and a lack of data protection. TÜV NORD supports manufacturers, their partners, and customers—private users—with certified IT security for a trustworthy Smart Home.
A smart home makes buildings more efficient, safer and more convenient. For example, it controls the lighting and regulates the energy supply. With increasing networking via the Internet of Things, the challenges are also growing: Imagine your light goes out, but you haven't switched it off. The door can no longer be opened or the cooker comes on even though nobody is at home. Cybersecurity provides protective mechanisms that minimise attack surfaces for cyber attacks. So hackers don't stand a chance and your smart home is secure.
TÜV NORD helps to make smart home technologies trustworthy and secure - with tested security standards and independent expertise.
"IT security forms the backbone of successful digitalisation. We are convinced of this. As a knowledge company, we pave the way for this and provide a neutral view of the effectiveness of implementation. This builds trust."
