  • The asvin portfolio includes software for risk analysis, OTA device management and professional services.
  • Zenner currently operates the largest LoRaWAN network in Europe.
  • Cyber security is a global challenge. With asvin, we have the expertise to support our customers in meeting these complex requirements,’ emphasises Boris Stöckermann from Zenner.

Stuttgart/Milan, 22-24.10.24 – asvin GmbH, Stuttgart, is the cybersecurity expert in the ZENNER Group. At Enlit 2024 in Milan, asvin will be presenting its solutions at the Zenner stand in Hall 6, Stand B14. This complements the Group’s existing expertise and portfolio, particularly in the complex cyber security market segment.

With new regulatory measures such as NIS2, CRA and RED, the cyber security requirements for manufacturers and operators of networked products and services within the European Union are increasing. With asvin, the ZENNER Group has the right supporting services and tools to operate IoT applications securely and in compliance with the new regulatory requirements. This includes the cybersecurity screening of products as well as solutions for cybersecurity lifecycle management.

One asvin highlight at ENLIT is the cyber security tool ‘Device Security Booster’. This allows IoT device fleets in particular to be managed securely over their lifecycle. This includes the roll-out of firmware updates, security patches and configurations over the air (FUOTA / OTA) for devices in LoRaWAN or NB-IoT. The solution is particularly suitable and optimised for low processing end devices with limited bandwidth in the wireless data connection.

Zenner currently operates Europe’s largest LoRaWAN network for the transmission of measurement data from water, heat and gas meters. The scalability of the network, which is operated by Zenner Connect GmbH in Germany, creates cost benefits for municipal utilities and local authorities, as they benefit from more favourable operating costs and better access to connectivity. ‘In addition, future solutions can be scaled flexibly. Municipal utilities and smart cities can build up their IoT projects gradually and without network bottlenecks. By continuously investing in the LoRaWAN network, Zenner offers future security and customers benefit from a long-term partnership with a reliable partner,’ explains Boris Stöckermann, Head of Business Development, Digital Solutions & eCommerce at the Minol-Zenner Group.

In addition, the benefits for companies from the utilities and housing industry, but also from all sectors with large IoT infrastructures, are enormous. Devices and machine elements can be managed and updated quickly, securely and cost-effectively via OTA. This enables users to easily implement their device lifecycle management concepts. The ‘Device Security Booster’ solution supports the on-boarding, firmware maintenance during operation or off-boarding of IoT end devices. Configuration or software updates, battery charge status checks and predictive maintenance applications are also included in the range of functions.
