Announcing the Winner of the IoT Security Excellence Award

Quectel Leads the Way in IoT Security with Industry-First Innovations

 

Quectel logoThe 2024 IoT Security Excellence Award celebrates the pioneering contributions of Quectel, whose groundbreaking program sets a new standard in IoT device security. With an approach grounded in rigorous testing, transparency, and a vision for ecosystem-wide impact, Quectel stands out as a beacon of innovation in the IoT landscape.

Elevating IoT Security Standards

At the heart of Quectel’s award-winning program is their partnership with Finite State, a leader in penetration testing and analysis. Through detailed testing of IoT modules, Quectel has demonstrated remarkable improvements in security. Their scores have leapt from an already impressive 33 to an industry-leading less-than-18, far surpassing the industry average of 98. These results showcase Quectel’s proactive and dynamic approach to addressing security vulnerabilities.

Transparency Redefined: SBOM and VEX Documentation

Quectel achieved an industry first with the release of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange (VEX) documents. These tools empower developers with machine-readable data on software components and identified vulnerabilities, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the security profile of Quectel’s modules. By making these resources widely available, Quectel enhances the ability of IoT developers to build secure, reliable solutions.

Far-Reaching Ecosystem Impact

Quectel’s contributions to IoT security extend beyond their modules. Their initiatives strengthen the entire IoT ecosystem, benefiting industries reliant on secure connected devices, such as healthcare, manufacturing, and telecommunications. With proactive security measures and transparent practices, Quectel is not only securing their products but also setting the standard for IoT security across the board.

A Visionary Approach to Security

Quectel’s program exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to IoT security, focusing on:

  • Rigorous and comprehensive security testing for key devices.
  • Transparent software management with SBOM and VEX documentation.
  • Integration of advanced binary analysis tools into the development lifecycle, fostering a culture of security-first innovation.

This holistic vision ensures that IoT ecosystems can grow securely and sustainably, addressing emerging threats while maintaining trust in interconnected devices.
