Kudelski IoT will rigorously test and certify hardware against Zoom's
stringent security requirements
to help safeguard the security of video and audio collaboration.
Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland and Phoenix (AZ), USA - May 7, 2024 -
Kudelski IoT, a division of the Kudelski Group (SIX: KUD.S), a global leader
in digital security and IoT solutions, today announced its partnership with
Zoom to evaluate the performance of third-party equipment with Zoom
services, including Zoom Phone, Zoom Rooms, Zoom Rooms Controller, and
Digital Signage for the Zoom Hardware Certification Program. This
collaboration aims to uphold the highest level of performance, including
security, across Zoom's comprehensive suite of products and services. It
also educates hardware manufacturers that incorporate Zoom services with
their devices to identify and rectify any security vulnerabilities swiftly,
to achieve Zoom Certification of their hardware.
The transition to remote work and the increased reliance on video
conferencing platforms have highlighted the importance of securing
confidential and proprietary information shared online by corporations,
educational institutions, and government entities. In response, service
providers like Zoom have significantly enhanced the security of their
services. Zoom's enhancements have not only bolstered its popularity, but
also benefited third-party device manufacturers that integrate Zoom services
into their hardware, which presents new security challenges.
Kudelski IoT has played a pivotal role in assisting companies like Zoom in
evaluating the security of their platforms and in developing security
testing and certification programs for ecosystem partners, such as camera
manufacturers. This collaboration supports the protection of user privacy,
the Zoom brand, and the device manufacturers' reputations. With over 30
years of experience in combating piracy and hacking within the global
digital television market, Kudelski IoT brings unparalleled expertise to the
assessment of IoT devices and ecosystems through one of the world's most
experienced and best-equipped security labs. The company also offers
security architecture, threat analysis and device security discovery
services.
'Having confidence in the security of third-party hardware is crucial to our
overall solution security because security is only as strong as its weakest
link,' said Andy Grant, head of offensive security at Zoom. 'Security is a
top priority at Zoom, and establishing a secure ecosystem through Zoom
Hardware Certification is one of the best ways to help safeguard our users.
Kudelski IoT's extensive experience will be instrumental to our goal of
having no vulnerabilities in the system when using third-party hardware.'
In its collaboration with device manufacturers working with Zoom services,
Kudelski IoT focuses on evaluating the devices' resilience against hacking
and the security of its software stack to prevent both local and remote
attacks. This supports the devices' safety for connection to various
networks. Additionally, Kudelski IoT verifies the security of the device's
firmware update mechanism (FOTA) to maintain security throughout its
lifecycle.
'Zoom has already implemented advanced security features to protect
meetings, data, and privacy,' said Joel Conus, VP of Kudelski IoT Security
Labs. 'Developing a certification program for third-party cameras and
hardware bolsters the integrity of the total end-to-end solution, offering
peace of mind to the millions of daily Zoom meeting participants.'
Kudelski IoT has conducted numerous security assessments for manufacturers
of Zoom-compatible devices, ensuring these products meet the stringent
security standards required for Zoom certification within the Zoom secure
ecosystem. Companies looking to integrate Zoom capabilities with their
hardware products are encouraged to apply for Zoom hardware certification.
