Cyber certification for panel

by Mark Rowe

The PowerSeries Neo intrusion panel from DSC, part of Johnson Controls, is the first intrusion alarm panel to be awarded the NF and A2P certification for cybersecurity protection from CNPP, the French national authority for risk prevention and control.

That certification was awarded under a newly created category that evaluates and certifies a security product’s cybersecurity readiness. The certification recognises the panel’s ability to withstand cyberattacks, using 128-bit AES encryption technology on Ethernet and cellular communication paths, ensuring the integrity of the system even in the event of an IP network failure.

Maciej Polak, intrusion product marketing manger, EMEA, Building Technologies and Solutions, Johnson Controls, said: “Security system installers, businesses and homes in France can now select a security system with the highest confidence that it has been designed and produced using nationally recognized cybersecurity criteria designed to protect network integrity and privacy. Our position as the first company in France to obtain this distinguished CNPP authority recognition further highlights the Johnson Controls commitment to providing solutions that are designed with cybersecurity as a central tenant of product design and development.”

The hybrid PowerSeries Neo is described as a modular platform that can provide for a spectrum of intrusion needs, from residential to scalable commercial enterprises. Besides its use of 128 bit AES encryption, the panel uses PowerG wireless intrusion, to offer features such as Multichannel, Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum, Adaptive Transmission Power, high transmission ranges and TDMA synchronized communication.

The new NF and A2P cybersecurity category is awarded with CNPP and ANSSI, the French National Agency for information systems security. To achieve certification, products are evaluated by CNPP on a variety of technical specifications, such as the overall level of security, level of access and autonomy as well as an evaluation of the manufacturer processes for development and production.
