Ingwaz and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS Group) Forge a Three-Year Agreement and SAS takes a groundbreaking step in digitalization for IoT Security and Lifecycle Management for Ground Handling.

Stockholm, Sweden
Ingwaz AB, a provider of Secure Lifecycle Management and Network Intrusion for IoT, is thrilled to announce its ground-breaking collaboration with SAS. The Ingwaz solution is to be utilized for the SAS Ground Handling, where SAS is already a global leading ground handling company in use of digitalization. This agreement will provide new highly improved capabilities to the SAS Ground Handling operation and will take SAS a huge step forward in their ambition to utilize digitalization in their day-to-day operation.

The Secure Lifecycle Management Platform offers an out-of-the-box solution for IoT deployments, catering initially to business and enterprise customers. It empowers users with the freedom to choose the most suitable microcontroller for their specific requirements, while ensuring unrivaled security and robust end-to-end lifecycle management. With this platform, customers can experience reliable data delivery, fortified by secure over-the-air firmware updates, safeguarding their IoT infrastructure against potential threats.

The collaboration between Ingwaz and SAS leverages the expertise and innovation of both companies. By utilizing the Arduino MKR family of devices for communication, the platform establishes a secure foundation with reliable message delivery, independent of any preferred network topology. Ingwaz has worked closely with industry partners to identify customer needs and develop a comprehensive solution that prioritizes flexibility in firmware development, IoT deployments and enhancing security through network isolation.

"We are tremendously excited about this platform launch into SAS Ground Handling and our collaboration with SAS," said Aaron Ardiri, CEO at Ingwaz AB. "Our platform empowers IoT developers to focus on the simplicity of their devices and perform data analytics without having to be embedded security experts. By entrusting security and communication aspects to us, customers can seamlessly transition from prototype development to production without any code changes."

Scandinavian Airlines Ground Service Handling leverages the platform to enforce safety, as validation of user access, data collection, GNSS positioning, geofencing, and security protocols for vehicles in its ground service handling fleet at Stockholm Arlanda Airport.

Ingwaz's Secure Lifecycle Management Platform for IoT offers numerous benefits to customers, including secure-by-design architecture, out-of-the-box robustness and reliability, network topology agnosticism, utilization of secure elements for root-of-trust during enrollment, reliable sub-second data delivery in the event of network failure, zero attack surface through separation of concerns isolating customer solutions, independence from target microcontrollers, firmware that requires no third-party code and can be compiled using any target compiler, firmware development compatibility with various programming languages and environments, firmware management support for up to four independent microcontrollers, secure over-the-air firmware updates for both modem and target microcontrollers, and seamless migration from prototype development to production-ready environment.

A microcontroller agnostic Secure Lifecycle Management Platform for the masses.
A secure foundation with reliable message delivery for any microcontroller or network topology.

Stockholm, Sweden
Ingwaz AB announces the launch of its Secure Lifecycle Management Platform for IoT aimed initially at business and enterprise customers, providing an out-of-the box solution for IoT deployments with the freedom of choice and support of resource constrained microcontrollers.

    "We are extremely excited over the launch of our platform to the market.

    Our platform will give customers and system integrators an out-of-the box solution, with the freedom to choose the appropriate microcontroller for their needs while experiencing unprecedented protection against cyberattacks, with secure and robust end-to-end lifecycle management providing reliable data delivery and secure over-the-air firmware updates.

    Utilizing the Arduino MKR family of devices for communication provides a strong security foundation and network topology independence. It has been great working together with industry partners to identify the requirements from customers to build and deliver a solution that ticks all the right boxes - especially in regards to the flexibility of firmware development, a distinct offering that increases security via network isolation.

    Our platform allows IoT developers to focus on the simplicity of the thing and perform data analytics that are associated with them without being embedded security experts. In essence; they delegate security and communication aspects to us. Customers can migrate from prototype development to production without changing any code.

    Aaron Ardiri, CEO at Ingwaz AB

Ingwaz’s Secure Lifecycle Management Platform for IoT provides customers benefits like:

  • secure by design
  • out-of-the box robustness and reliability
  • network topology (WiFi, 3G, NB-IoT) agnostic
  • secure element utilized for root-of-trust during enrolment
  • reliable sub-second data delivery in event of network failure
  • zero attack surface; separation of concerns isolates customer solution
  • target microcontroller (AVR, PIC18, nRF5x, STM32, et al) independence
  • firmware requires no third party code and can utilize any target compiler
  • firmware development can utilize any programming language or environment
  • firmware management support for up to four independent microcontrollers
  • secure over-the-air firmware updates of both modem and target microcontrollers
  • seamless migration from prototype development to production ready environment

To facilitate with early adoption of the platform, Ingwaz has designed and manufactured Industrial IoT PCB designs that utilize the Atmega2560 microcontroller - supporting multiple purpose I/O, high voltage signals (optocouplers, relays) and protocols such as 1-wire, I2C, RS232, Canbus and Modbus RTU directly. The designs will be freely available to customers for reference or to adopt and customize to adapt to their specific application needs.

PCB

The platform has been field tested successfully in pilots with customers across multiple industries. Comau s.P.A., an industrial robotics manufacturer, utilizes the platform to manage its artificial intelligence engine at the edge for predictive maintenance of its industrial robots. Scandinavian Airlines Ground Service Handling utilizes the platform to bring safety and security protocols to vehicles in its ground service handling fleet operating at Stockholm Arlanda Airport.
