Swissbit at it-sa 2019 - Hardware-based security solutions to protect data and devices

WESTFORD, MASSACHUSETTS, USA, September 26, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- At it-sa, Swissbit AG will present innovative and industrial hardware-based security solutions to protect data and devices for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Visit booth #409 in hall 10.0, where Swissbit will be co-exhibiting together with the Cyber-Sicherheitsrat Deutschland e.V., and where you will be able to discover these easy-to-integrate and retrofittable products. The latest application examples from the exhibition program are Swissbit’s fiscal memory solutions (TSE) for cash register manufacturers to provide tamper-proof cash-register recordings in Germany. A further highlight is the USB 3.1 stick, PU-50n DP with hardware encryption and access protection. At it-sa, Swissbit will be promoting its unique services for modular security products from its own advanced packaging production plant in Berlin. This includes customized shapes and sizes and the integration of various different components and functions into one robust module.

"The Internet of Things drastically increases demand for security solutions. Previously, only IT networks needed to be protected from attacks, today everything from industrial manufacturing plants, networked cars through to medical technologies needs to be secured. Our modular security products are based on standard interfaces and offer system manufacturers a range of hardware-based Cyber Security solutions for the protection of data and devices", said Hubertus Grobbel, VP Security Solutions at Swissbit AG.

Retrofittable Swissbit fiscal memory for tamper-proof cash register recordings
From January 1, 2020 cash registers in Germany need to be fitted with certified technical security equipment (TSE) to provide tamper-proof recordings of cash register data. Swissbit's TSE solution comes in the form of USB sticks, SD or microSD cards offering an easy implementable and retrofittable fiscal memory solution. Cash register manufacturers can very easily integrate the Swissbit TSE solution into conventional or PC based cash register systems. The connection is made through a USB, SD or microSD interface. Swissbit provides a SDK (Software Development Kit), drivers and support for Windows, Linux, Android and embedded systems. The future proof Swissbit solution is cost-effective and easily scalable because it can be used for stand-alone devices or in LAN configurations with several devices and parallel TSE.

Swissbit is a highly skilled specialist with over 20 years' experience in sophisticated industrial memory and security solutions. For more than three years, Swissbit has been delivering tried and tested fiscal solutions for the fiscal market in France and other EU countries. Since September, Swissbit's fiscal solution has also been certified for use in Slovakia.

Secure memory or token: PU-50n DP
Another product example of Swissbit's high manufacturing expertise and the company's innovative, highly flexible security concept is the USB 3.1 stick, PU-50n DP, with integrated hardware encryption and access protection. Similar to a credit card, the stick features a retry counter that blocks access following a defined number of failed password attempts. PU-50n DP serves as a GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation) compliant pocket-sized memory stick and as license and configuration token for industrial automation applications.
