ROCKVILLE, Md., July 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sepio Systems announced today the launch of the Hardware Access Control Index (HACx), an objective assessment, based on a range of variables, that helps organizations understand hardware security posture. The company offers a rogue hardware mitigation guarantee as part of its HAC-1 solution, in partnership with Munich Re Group (Munich Re), one of the world's leading providers of reinsurance, primary insurance, and insurance-related risk solutions whereby Munich Re insures Sepio's liabilities under the guarantee. Backed by this assurance, it is a first of its kind index to track these kinds of vulnerabilities across enterprises and industries.

CSO Magazine reported that 63 percent of companies were potentially compromised last year due to a hardware security breach. Yet this kind of attack can go unseen as it "lives" below the network layer, making it invisible to most cybersecurity mitigation measures and software that counter networking and software-based attacks. HACx fills the information void by equipping CISOs with actionable intelligence that provides targeted risk awareness.

"Cybersecurity is not about achieving an absolute level of security – there is no 100% security level," said Bentsi Ben-atar, CMO and Co-founder, Sepio Systems. "It is about how your organization measures against other potential targets that cybercriminals are evaluating. CISOs need to verify that they are leading the pack and not following it, and to do that, they need to know how they measure up. As hardware-based attack campaigns are gaining more in popularity, HACx provides the required data for cross industry and cross vertical comparison."

HACx provides an objective and comprehensive assessment of a company's cybersecurity posture levels with regards to an organization's Hardware Access Control. The effort is led by Sepio Systems research team and based on usable data from customers and risk assessment scans.

"The HAC-1 solution fills an important gap in hardware security, like rogue device mitigation originating from internal abusers and supply chain attacks," said Michael Berger, Head of AI Insurance at Munich Re. "By insuring Sepio's guarantee for its rogue device mitigation service with our unique solution aiSure, we support a truly innovative company that is a pioneer in its field."

HAC-1 capabilities include:

  • Ultimate Visibility - full asset visibility - IT/OT/IoT
  • Control - Granular Policy Enforcement
  • RDM - Rogue Device Mitigation
