The rapid deployment of IoT devices presents significant security challenges.

IoT attacks increased by 600% between 2016 and 2017, and with 29.42 billion IoT devices projected by 2030, robust security measures are urgently needed.

The global IoT security market is expected to reach US$20.98 billion by 2028, led by the Asia Pacific region.

The growing complexity and cost associated with onboarding these devices necessitate innovative solutions.

ASRock Industrial, with expertise in industrial PC motherboards, edge computers, and various industrial products, serves customers globally across the manufacturing, business, and retail industries.

VinCSS excels in IoT security and has pioneered several world-first FDO solutions, including FDO cameras, FDO car park systems, and a FDO network deployment solution, many of which have been successfully commercialized worldwide.

This collaboration will see ASRock Industrial and VinCSS researching and analyzing the current state of the FDO and IoT security solutions market, sharing insights from each party’s security business.

The partnership will focus on joint research, development, and implementation of advanced IoT security solutions to meet the growing security demands.

Leveraging VinCSS’s extensive experience and ASRock Industrial’s diverse resources, the collaboration aims to achieve FDO certification, streamlining and securing IoT device onboarding processes.

James Lee, Chairman of ASRock Industrial, said that by integrating VinCSS’s groundbreaking FDO technologies with the company’s leading-edge expertise in edge computing, both sides aim to deliver seamless and robust security measures for IoT devices.

“This partnership highlights our dedication to automated and secure onboarding solutions for the rapidly evolving IoT landscape,” said Lee.

Simon Trac Do, CEO of VinCSS, said, “By combining VinCSS’s cutting-edge FDO experience with ASRock Industrial’s expertise, this partnership will deliver innovative, practical security solutions that address the urgent challenges of the expanding IoT ecosystem and significantly enhance people’s lives.”

ASRock Industrial’s vision is to co-create an intelligent world with vertical applications in commerce, automation, robotics, entertainment, and security industries.
