SETTING THE STANDARD FOR SMART SECURITY
» KUBU , THE FENESTRATION INDUStry ’ s premier smart security specialists , has been working hand in hand with the innovative multipoint lock manufacturer , Avantis Hardware , and the multi-award-winning fabricator , Emplas , to integrate their patented technology into a groundbreaking new window lock that is truly worthy of such a prestigious partnership .
The recent launch of the ‘ Intellect™ by Avantis ’ multipoint shootbolt window
lock represents the culmination of over 12 months of technical and technological advancement and helps to cement Emplas as a frontrunner in the ongoing smart journey in our industry .
The IASME Consortium is an independent accreditation body - officially recognised by the UK Government and Secured By Design - that works alongside a network of almost 300 expert organisations across the UK to advise and certify organisations of all sizes in both cyber security and counter fraud .
More specifically , the IASME IoT Cyber Scheme has been developed so that companies providing internet connected products and services - such as the Kubu smart sensors and app - can demonstrate their products have achieved the appropriate standards and that their products and services have been independently assessed against all 13 provisions of the world-leading consumer IoT security standard - ETSI EN 303 645 - far exceeding the mandatory three provisions currently being legislated by the UK government .
Kubu is the first product of its kind to secure IASME Level 2 IoT Accreditation ( the highest level possible ) for all devices , sensors and software , which perfectly complements the SBD and PAS24 accreditations already obtained for the Avantis ‘ Works with Kubu ’ door and window multipoint lock ranges .
Jody Vincent , sales director at Emplas , added : “ We were the first company to introduce Kubu Smart technology to the UK market on our doors , and are proud to be continuing to provide our customers with incredible sales differentiators .
“ Kubu has set the de facto standard for cyber safety in our industry , meaning we can be certain that our customers , and our customers ’ customers are always fully protected .”
