September 20 is International Children’s Day: Experiencing the digital world together, without bans » https://lnkd.in/egSJz-cj The organizers of International Children’s Day, celebrated on September 20 in Germany and Austria, are urging people help children navigate the digital world by providing them with information, guidance, and reliable technology to protect our children. This year’s official motto is “Strong Children, Strong Future!”. But what does this mean for parents? How can they help their children navigate a digital world when the parents themselves aren’t entirely tech savvy? Overcoming this challenge is easier when children, parents, educators, and politicians work together. It becomes even easier yet when experts weigh in with their knowledge. #avtest #threatprotection #cybsecurity #childprotection #internationalchildrensday @av-te

AV-TEST's wrap-up of IFA Berlin 2026: "For us, however, IFA is much more than a showcase for products. Above all, it is a place for exchange – with customers, partners and industry colleagues. Especially in our field, where connected products, mobile applications, IT security, data privacy and regulatory requirements are becoming increasingly important, personal conversations are often impossible to replace.[...]" ⚙️ Read the full article on our IoT-Blog️: https://lnkd.in/gpQJmd5H #iottestsorg #smarthomesecurity #connecteddevices #securitybydesign #cyberresilience act #certification #independenttesting ABUS Security Tech Germany Bosch Smart Home Nuki Home Solutions GmbH Tedee

New EU Cybersecurity Rules Are Here On September 11, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) officially takes effect. It marks one of the biggest regulatory shifts for connected devices in years. With mandatory reporting obligations now coming into force, cybersecurity is officially moving from an optional add-on to a legal requirement across the EU. But what does this new regulation actually mean for your Nuki Smart Lock? Short answer: For your daily use, nothing at all. While many manufacturers now face a major transition, we welcome these new ground rules. Security-by-Design has always been at the core of Nuki: • Security from day one: End-to-end encryption, local data storage, and zero account requirement. • Proactive lifecycle protection: Dedicated vulnerability management and continuous over-the-air software updates. • Independent verification: Consistently certified as an "Approved IoT Product" by AV-TEST across all five product generations. When technology controls access to your home, trust is everything. The CRA doesn't force us to pivot – it validates the path we've been on since 2015. Want a clear breakdown of what the Cyber Resilience Act means for your smart home? Check out our latest blog post! English: https://lnkd.in/dxFYgZA3 German: https://lnkd.in/dYtJSUcN

Since 2023, "Rhysida" has been one of the most active and professional ransomware groups worldwide. This case demonstrates once again that cyberattacks on government agencies and critical infrastructure are no longer the exception. They are carried out in a highly organized manner—using stolen credentials, rapid propagation within the network, and the so-called “double extortion” model involving data theft, encryption, and blackmail.

This is precisely where the independent AV-TEST Institute has been making an important contribution for over 20 years. With scientifically sound tests, independent certifications, and practical consulting, we support manufacturers, companies, and public institutions in objectively evaluating the effectiveness of their security solutions and continuously improving them. Our 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐀𝐓𝐏) 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬, in particular, demonstrate under realistic conditions how reliably security solutions detect and stop current attack scenarios—an important basis for decision-making for both companies and government agencies. 💡 https://lnkd.in/db8beJ2b In addition, AV-TEST provides companies and end users with the results of regular comparative tests of security. ✅ https://lnkd.in/e6U8ke7 🚨 𝐓𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞 (𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞), including statements of Erik Heyland, AV-TEST and eco - Verband der Internetwirtschaft e.V.: https://lnkd.in/eM2F5KFz Cyber resilience does not come from marketing promises, but from demonstrable protection. #CyberSecurity #Ransomware #Rhysida #AVTEST #NetworkThreatProtection #ITSecurity #CyberResilience #PublicSector #KRITIS #Informationssicherheit
