MagentaZuhause app and Magenta SmartHome receive AV-Test “Secure” certificate
Protect your own four walls and keep them safe – this premise also applies to the networked home. Anyone who wants a smart home system that meets all security requirements is making the right choice with Deutsche Telekom. This is confirmed by the security check carried out by the independent IT experts from AV-TEST. After extensive testing, the MagentaZuhause app and the Magenta SmartHome smart home solution received the “Tested Smart Home Product” certificate.
Security on the test bench
The test examined how securely the networked home can be used. The comprehensive test examines how secure communication is in the smart home with the apps and the connected devices. The results show that Magenta SmartHome and the MagentaZuhause app are well protected against potential hacker attacks. Manipulation by external parties is prevented. In addition, the products guarantee all-around secure communication. This means that third parties can neither read nor intercept the data during transmission.
The tested devices and apps thus continue to meet all the requirements for certification by AV-TEST in 2022. Magenta SmartHome has received the certificate for the eighth time in a row. For the MagentaZuhause app, it was the first security test of this kind.
Data privacy has high priority: Telekom protects its customers

According to the experts from AV-TEST, both the handling of customer data and the data privacy statement are exemplary. Telekom provides detailed and transparent information about data protection issues. It processes the data in Germany or other European countries. This means that the strict European data protection requirements apply. In addition, Telekom follows the principle of data economy. This means that only data relevant to operations is processed.
