KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 19 -- The ioXt Alliance, the Global Standard for IoT Security, has announced the addition of Onward Security to the ioXt Authorized Labs Certification Program.

Authorized Labs are the exclusive test providers for the ioXt Alliance and perform all testing required for devices to be certified by the Alliance and to bear the ioXt SmartCert, which provides security assurance to consumers.

“As a leader in security assessment, we take pride in working with companies to ensure devices are safe for all end-users across industries before they hit the shelves,” said Onward Security General Manager, Morgan Hung in a statement.

“Partnering with the ioXt Alliance will allow us to open our facilities to more companies and ensure devices comply with their global security standards which provide visibility and protect consumers from vulnerabilities.”

With its international accredited assessment labs, the security and compliance solutions provider for the IoT industry, aims to help technology companies and manufacturers obtain certifications to allow connected products to enter the market securely.

Due to its trusted reputation in the industry, Onward Security has become Taiwan's only security assessment lab for Amazon Alexa Voice Service and Amazon Prime Video and Asia's only Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association authorised test lab for cybersecurity.

The ioXt Certification Program comprises eight security principles focused on the security, upgradability and transparency of devices and after testing, products that meet or exceed the requirements in its designated category receive the ioXt SmartCert seal of security.
