WISeKey Establishes
First-of-its-Kind Artificial
Intelligent of Things (AIoT) Laboratory in
France
The WISeKey Lab, located
in
Meyreuil, PROVENCE-ALPES-COTE
D'AZUR France, integrates AI, IoT and
Cybersecurity to test and verify current state of
security of the ever-increasing number of IoT networked
devices
ZUG, Switzerland & GENEVA & Meyreuil, France –
September 21, 2020 – WISeKey International Holding
(“WISeKey”, SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading cybersecurity IoT
company has announced the establishment of an Artificial
Intelligent of Things (AIoT) laboratory (‘the WISeKey Lab’) in
France with 30 dedicated employees. The WISeKey Lab blends AI, IoT
and Cybersecurity to test and verify the current state of IoT
security of networked devices.
The WISeKey Lab is in compliance with the international
ISO 27001 certification for information security and
provides IoT discovery devices on and off the network using Digital
Identification and AI to continuously analyze endpoint IoT behavior
aiming to identify cyber risks, protect critical information and
systems and quarantine suspicious or malicious devices. The WISeKey
Lab uses AI based automation that shift the focus of companies from
simply managing their current IoT operations to innovation and
technological advancement and help engineers solve their unique IoT
challenges in automotive, communications, computing, consumer,
industrial, medical, aerospace and defense applications.
“The WISeKey Lab will utilize our 30 years of extensive
experience in designing hardware and software which are able to
resist cyberattacks and in compliance with the most stringent
certification standards. We always had in our DNA a holistic
approach of the system: from its architecture, to design,
manufacturing through a very complex supply chain, up to
integration and deployment in the field, as well as, provision of
credentials. We believe that each step plays a significant role in
the security of the final solution. This unique experience and
expertise is what our customers will benefit from through our
laboratory offerings,” said Bernard VIAN, Head of the WISeKey Lab.
“Additionally, we are putting major efforts into building
countermeasures to Deep-Learning attacks, which will be very
valuable to brands deploying connected devices. The use of AI
algorithms and predictive maintenance implemented through AIoT,
through our partnership with arago has the ability to quickly
provide our clients with valuable insights.”
The WISeKey Lab provides its customers with IoT security
assessment and audit services including semiconductor design and
encryption and source code, black box testing and penetration
testing. WISeKey’s strategy to leverage its Lab via long-lasting
relationships with strategic partners and startups working on AIoT
and its derivatives, is designed to bring a stream of high-profile
clients that are in high demand for IoT cybersecurity solutions,
such as AI, digital identity and privacy, secure mobile
communication, secure cloud computing, IoT, secure semi-conductors
and other innovative technologies offered by WISeKey.
WISekey AIoT integrates semiconductors, smart
sensors, IoT systems, AI and a data cloud to deliver
to customers a unique offering to power innovation and digital
transformation. Using WISeKey’s cybersecurity technology and IoT
network, data will be collected in HIRO (arago’s AI based Knowledge
Automation and Data platform) where it can be processed and through
automation acted upon in real time in a highly secure
environment.
AIoT is the brain that will power the nervous system of the
network of IoT objects operating in the WISeKey ecosystem, which
currently connects over 1.6 billion IoT devices secured with
WISeKey’s VaultIC. With the introduction of 5G, the ecosystem will
continue to grow at a much faster rate as 5G will enable the
connection of every object, person, and machine. AIoT will embed AI
into the core infrastructure components of the ecosystem including
RoT, semiconductors, and edge computing. Specialized APIs are then
used to provide interoperability between components at the device,
software and platform level to optimize system and network
operations. Data processed through AIoT is then collected and
made accessible to extract value and enhance market intelligence
and knowledge for customers. AIoT also enables secure
automation of actions and business decisions based on real time
data and enables IoT to work independently with minimal human
support, unlike the current state of the market which requires that
all actions be coded in advance based on pre-defined
scenarios. With the use of AI algorithms and predictive
maintenance implemented through AIoT, IoT devices will have the
capability to dynamically determine actions to take decisions and
self-program based on analytics and customer defined knowledge,
resulting in lower operating and maintenance costs for
providers.
The value of adding AI to the WISeKey platform is its ability to
quickly bring insights from data. Machine learning, an AI
technology, brings the ability to automatically identify patterns
and detect anomalies in the data that smart sensors and devices
gather such as temperature, pressure, humidity, air quality,
vibration, and sound.
About WISeKeyWISeKey (NASDAQ: WKEY; SIX Swiss
Exchange: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY) is a leading global cybersecurity
company currently deploying large scale digital identity ecosystems
for people and objects using Blockchain, AI and IoT respecting the

Everything. WISeKey IoT has an install base of over 1.5 billion
microchips in virtually all IoT sectors (connected cars, smart
cities, drones, agricultural sensors, anti-counterfeiting, smart
lighting, servers, computers, mobile phones, crypto tokens
etc.). WISeKey is uniquely positioned to be at the edge of
IoT as our semiconductors produce a huge amount of Big Data that,
when analyzed with Artificial Intelligence (AI), can help
industrial applications to predict the failure of their equipment
before it happens. Our technology is Trusted by the OISTE/WISeKey’s
Swiss based cryptographic Root of Trust (“RoT”) provides secure
authentication and identification, in both physical and virtual
environments, for the Internet of Things, Blockchain and Artificial
Intelligence. The WISeKey RoT serves as a common trust anchor to
ensure the integrity of online transactions among objects and
between objects and people. For more information,
