Axis desarrolla el primer dispositivo compatible con FIPS 140-3

Government and critical infrastructure customers Axis Communications now have the first network security device with an integrated and validated element according to the FIPS standard 140-3 level 3 de última generación.

With the introduction of the camera Axis Q1809-LE Bullet, The company has begun its commitment to develop products that meet the level 3 of FIPS 140-3, by virtue of the information processing compliance established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

La norm FIPS 140 specifies the requirements of security of cryptographic modules that process and guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of data, which improves the safety of government and critical infrastructure customers.

As the company points out, Axis is the first company to launch a network security appliance with a secure element, integrated and validated according to the FIPS standard 140-3 level 3 de última generación.

Thanks to FIPS certification 140-3, Axis customers in government and critical infrastructure can be assured that their devices meet security levels defined by NIST, avoiding manipulation and ensuring that access is focused on identity.

The integrated discreet secure element –EdgeLock SE052F-, is from the secure connectivity solutions company NXP Semiconductors, and Axis' goal is to continue expanding its range of FIPS certified devices 140-3 incorporating it into all your upcoming networking products.

FIPS compliance 140-3 will be available for use cases ranging from surveillance to business optimization (through analytics); he access control and audio. Even organizations that are not required to meet the high standards of FIPS will benefit, as they will also have the assurance that their systems are interoperable and that they meet these requirements in the long term.

Secure storage and computation of cryptographic keys is just one component of the hardware-based cybersecurity platform Axis Edge Vault, including features such as secure boot and IEEE 802.1AR compliant ID, that verifies the identity and authenticity of devices from this manufacturer.
