SecureThingz, a subsidiary of IAR Systems® Group, a provider of high-performance development and provisioning platforms for Internet of Things (IoT) security, and System General (Acroview Group), a global leader in device programming equipment, are strengthening supply chain security by integrating robust secure programming for enterprises worldwide.

SecureThings announced on the 11th that it will provide large-scale security programming and provisioning through a partnership with System General.

Integrating SecureThings' Secure Deploy™ technology into System General's programming devices will enable SecureThings ecosystem partners to implement a secure supply chain.

This is made possible by creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from production control systems to devices programmed anywhere in the world, ensuring that software is not tampered with, providing secure source code entry and identity provisioning, and preventing overproduction and duplication.

“We are excited to partner with SecureThings to integrate advanced security technology into our device programming appliances,” said Rickey Chien, General Manager of System General. “Our customers benefit from building a global security supply chain.“We are demanding increasingly stronger security every day,” he said.

“Hardening the supply chain to protect valuable intellectual property (IP), prevent counterfeiting and overproduction, and prevent malware injection is critical to building today’s supply chains,” said Haydn Povey, founder and CEO of SecureThings. “Integrating our Secure Deploy platform into System General’s devices is another way we are providing security from the outset.”
