M2Mi in the Washington Post – Cyber firms look to move the electrical grid

NASA Research Park, Moffett Field, CA – 28th April 2014 - Machine-to-Machine Intelligence (M2Mi) Corporation's secure Lockbox technology is discussed in an article in the Washington Post about addressing threats against the energy infrastructure. The article titled "Cyber firms look to move the electrical grid" looks at the challenges to energy grids and how M2Mi’s secure Lockbox technology can be used to protect critical grid infrastructure as well as enable secure information exchange.

The article sheds light into why cyberwarfare is a big concern for the federal government:

At a keynote speech in Washington last month, former CIA director Leon E. Panetta warned that cyberspace is the “battlefield of the future.” Hackers could trigger disruptions similar to those caused by Hurricane Sandy if they gain access to electricity grids, transportation systems or other networks, he said.

With these challenges facing energy and other critical infrastructure, organizations such as the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel are working across private and public institutions to provide effective cyber security solutions.

M2Mi provides the M2M Intelligence® platform, which includes M2M Automation and M2M Cyber Security, as the essential technology foundation for M2M and IoT offerings. M2M Cyber Security includes patented secure Lockbox technology, which enables organizations to implement security policies for fine-grained control of their critical infrastructure environments.

M2Mi’s Lockbox technology ensures multiple levels of security and privacy by allowing participants to authenticate, require separate keys so that creators and consumers of data can be completely segregated as well as optionally use encryption. This enables secure exchange of information across digital and physical environments, and thus makes the Lockbox technology optimal for use in distributed and diverse critical infrastructure environments such as the energy grid.

Created: Friday, 28 February 2014 16:18

NASA Research Park, Moffett Field, CA – 28th February 2014 – Machine-to-Machine Intelligence (M2Mi) Corporation today announced its intention to further enhance the resilience and security of the M2M Intelligence® platform by utilizing software assurance tools and resources as part of the Software Assurance program hosted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The public release is available here.

The Software Assurance Marketplace (SWAMP) is a national marketplace hosted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that provides continuous software assurance capabilities to researchers and developers. The goal of the program is to enhance the security of software by providing Software Assurance (SWA) researchers, tool developers, tool users, and educators a suite of secure and dependable analysis services. By facilitating the sharing of tools, techniques, information, experiences, and resources, the program will help advance the quality and adoption rate of SWA tools, lower the threshold for using them, and make it easier to interpret and use their output.

“The M2M Intelligence® platform includes cyber security components built on our patented Lockbox security technology. We believe the Software Assurance process will further enhance the security of our M2M Intelligence® platform and position M2Mi as a leader in providing scalable and secure M2M and Internet of Things solutions. We welcome this offering from the DHS, and believe the marketplace will help increase the security of software delivered within the industry”, says Geoff Brown, CEO of Machine-to-Machine Intelligence (M2Mi) Corp.

Machine-to-Machine Intelligence (M2Mi) Corporation advances industry privacy options and alignment with NIST Cyber Security framework for enterprise M2M and Internet of Things solutions

Details

Created: Monday, 16 December 2013 16:51

NASA Research Park, Moffett Field, CA – 17th December 2013 – Machine-to-Machine Intelligence (M2Mi) Corporation today announced advanced privacy capability and alignment with the NIST Cyber Security framework for enterprise M2M and Internet of Things solutions. With a focus on critical infrastructure protection and secure information exchange, the enhanced M2M Cyber Security product within the M2M Intelligence® platform enables enterprises to ensure security as well as multi-level privacy of their connected environment. The public release is available here.

The M2M and IoT ecosystem includes a diverse set of participants from end users, enterprises, telecom providers, cloud vendors to device manufacturers. This makes ensuring security and privacy of shared information a critical requirement. To address these issues, NIST recently released the Preliminary Cyber Security Framework based on feedback from more than 3,000 individuals and public-private organizations on standards, best practices and guidelines. The Preliminary Framework outlines a set of steps that can be customized to various sectors and adapted by both large and small organizations while providing a consistent approach to cyber security. The goal of the framework is to provide businesses, their suppliers, their customers and government agencies with guidelines for protecting critical information and IT infrastructure.

M2M Cyber Security includes patented secure Lockbox technology, which enables organizations to implement security and advanced privacy policies for fine-grained control of their M2M and IoT infrastructure and data flow. Lockbox technology ensures multiple levels of privacy by allowing participants to authenticate but remain anonymous, require separate keys so that creators and consumers of data can be completely segregated as well as optionally use encryption. Compared to many implementations that focus on either security or privacy, M2M Cyber Security makes it easy to define polices based on guidelines from the NIST Cyber Security framework, thus ensuring security as well as privacy of their M2M and IoT business.
