SAN DIEGO and BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, today announced its participation in the upcoming RSA Conference in San Francisco from May 6–9, 2024. At the event, which brings together IT experts from around the world, ESET Malware Researcher Martin Smolár will present on critical vulnerabilities and long-lasting problems in Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) security, which resulted into the discovery of the BlackLotus UEFI bootkit. Details about the session, which takes place on May 7 at 1:15pm PT in Moscone West, Room 3002, are available here.

Key Points: 
  • "Although UEFI firmware is widely deployed, and the number of real UEFI threats is increasing every year, most organizations overlook the security risks in this critical computing layer.
  • UEFI bootkits are very powerful threats, having full control over the OS boot process and thus capable of operating stealthily and disabling various security mechanisms.
  • ESET Integrations – ESET has kickstarted its API integration program by partnering with industry leading security providers.

These standards advocate for IoT devices to securely embed a unique trusted identity in the shape of certificates and private keys to perform secure mutual authentication, setting PKI operations as a cornerstone of the IoT security framework.

Key Points: 
  • These standards advocate for IoT devices to securely embed a unique trusted identity in the shape of certificates and private keys to perform secure mutual authentication, setting PKI operations as a cornerstone of the IoT security framework.
  • Scaling with secure transactions is difficult because performing public key math in software can quickly saturate the device’s general-purpose processor (MCU).
  • Simplified management of device attestation certificates and product attestation intermediates via the SEALSQ INeS CMS Platform for IoT.
  • The SEALSQ secure elements for IoT ensure that devices can be trusted from the moment they are powered on, throughout their deployment and operational life, safeguarding the broader IoT ecosystem's integrity and trustworthiness.
