Keysight now part of federal JCDC initiative to boost cybersecurity resiliency

Keysight Technologies announced that it has joined the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC), expanding its current partnership with the U.S. government to enhance the nation’s cybersecurity resiliency. Leveraging 20 years of cybersecurity testing and threat intelligence research, Keysight will support JCDC’s mission of uniting the global cyber community in the collective defense of cyberspace.

In response to escalating threats to national security, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) established JCDC in August 2021 under Congressional authorization. As a unique public-private partnership, JCDC proactively gathers, analyzes, and shares actionable cyber risk information to enable improved cybersecurity planning, defense, and response. A primary goal of JCDC includes enabling participants to stay ahead of adversaries and reducing cybersecurity threats before they have an impact.

Keysight offers a comprehensive suite of tools that empower organizations to be proactive with their cybersecurity from chip to cloud, including testing of deployed tools against the latest threats and a Cyber Range training environment to keep skills up to date. 

Keysight’s Threat Simulator offers daily updates with the latest malware and ransomware campaigns to validate firewalls, endpoint protection software, and SIEM tools, and CyPerf evaluates cybersecurity effectiveness and user experience in distributed and cloud environments. To test and improve the cybersecurity of devices such as IoT (Internet of Things) and industrial controllers, Keysight’s IoT Security Assessment provides firmware analysis, SBOM (software bill of materials) generation, and network security testing of connected devices.

Keysight’s security validation tools are automated and easy to use, so operators of critical IT and operational technology (OT) environments can easily validate their resilience to emerging threats. Additionally, Keysight offers cybersecurity validation products and services for every stage of the product lifecycle, from pre-silicon analysis to cloud security validation.

“Keysight is honored to join JCDC, extending our years of collaborating with the U.S. government as a provider of electronic test and measurement products and services including electronic warfare, 5G/6G, and cybersecurity validation and training,” said Scott Register, vice president of security solutions at Keysight. “By combining our expertise with the collective strength of JCDC, we can accelerate the development of innovative solutions to safeguard critical infrastructure and protect our nation from cyberattacks.”

Entrust nShield Connect HSMs certified under CSA Singapore’s NITES for use by government agencies

Singapore. 10 August, 2022 – Entrust, a provider of trusted identities, payments and data protection solutions, announced the certification of its nShield Connect XC hardware security module (HSM) product line under the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA)’s National IT Evaluation Scheme (NITES). This qualifies nShield HSMs for use by Singapore government agencies and reinforces its reliability as a secure solution.

The certification comes at a time when data security threats are getting increasingly more pervasive and complex, raising the demand for products that have been validated by independent evaluation laboratories. This need is particularly prevalent in highly regulated industries and the government sector, where product certification is often a requirement.

The NITES evaluation methodology references international standards such as the common criteria (CC) and requires subjecting products to rigorous testing. This certification builds on the qualifications of Entrust nShield HSMs, which have been validated as conforming to the CC evaluation assurance level 4+ (EAL4+) and federal information processing standard (FIPS) 140-2 level 3 requirements.

The nShield XC HSMs features tamper-resistant protection for key material, quorum-based authentication which adds an extra layer of protection by requiring approvals from more than one HSM user, encrypted access to private keys, and automatic erasure of data upon successful breaches.

“Having our nShield Connect XC HSM product line certified under NITES opens up new opportunities for us to help companies and government agencies protect their data,” says James Cook, vice president sales, digital security solutions at Entrust. “These organisations can know that Entrust solutions have been independently evaluated to meet the stringent NITES standards. The certification is a great milestone for Entrust in continuing effort to deliver industry-leading data protection solutions for our customers.”
