Samsung ARTIK IoT modulesSamsung Electronics announced ARTIK secure “s” systems-on-modules and services for the ARTIK IoT Platform to strengthen edge security.

Samsung ARTIK IoT platform delivers device-to-cloud security for companies to build, develop and manage secure, interoperable, and intelligent IoT products and services for everything from smart homes to high-tech factories.

Samsung announced that the ARTIK IoT platform will fully integrate with the SmartThings Cloud — Samsung’s new unified IoT platform. This will enable interoperability with both Samsung and third-party IoT devices and IoT cloud services.

The Samsung ARTIK IoT Platform with SmartThings Cloud will provide companies to develop secure IoT products and services including production-ready hardware, software and tools, cloud services and a growing partner ecosystem.

The addition of ARTIK secure IoT modules enables device-level protection for safe data exchange, interoperability, and secure access to ARTIK IoT services including device onboarding, orchestration, management, and over-the-air updates.

“Security in the age of IoT means new levels of complexity and risk. The next generation of IoT products and services will be more deeply integrated into our lives than ever before,” said James Stansberry, Senior Vice President and General Manager of ARTIK IoT, Samsung Electronics.

“The New ARTIK secure systems-on-modules provide the performance and security features we need for our new Samsung IoT appliances,” said Youngsoo Do, senior vice president of Digital Control Group at Samsung Electronics.

“Manufacturers must use components that have built-in defenses for both device and data integrity. ARTIK IoT platform’s new security measures provide this protection from the start, and helps companies operate more safely in the Internet of Things,” said Vikrant Gandhi, Digital Transformation Industry Director at Frost & Sullivan.

ARTIK “s” secure IoT modules will be available on November 30 through Samsung ARTIK channel partners. The ARTIK IoT Platform and ARTIK cloud services are available today.
