inteliLIGHT confirms Cybersecurity with Successful Penetration Test Certification
As smart city technologies continue to evolve, the importance of protecting digital infrastructure from cyber threats has never been greater. That’s why we are proud to announce that Flashnet has successfully completed a rigorous penetration test by Bit Sentinel, exceeding industry best practice standards for cybersecurity.
Why cybersecurity matters in smart street lighting
As cities embrace smart lighting and IoT-driven urban solutions, secure connectivity is essential. Smart street lighting networks transmit critical operational data, making them potential targets for cyber threats. A compromised system could lead to service disruptions, unauthorized access, and operational inefficiencies. Ensuring robust security measures not only protects municipalities and utility providers but also guarantees the safety and reliability of essential urban services.
What the penetration test means for our customers
The penetration test, conducted by independent cybersecurity experts, involved comprehensive testing under recognized industry frameworks, including:
- NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
- OWASP Testing Guide
- SANS Penetration Testing Framework
- Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES)
These assessments simulate real-world attack scenarios to evaluate system resilience, identify vulnerabilities, and reinforce defense mechanisms. Flashnet’s successful completion of the test demonstrates our proactive approach to cybersecurity, ensuring that our smart lighting solutions operate with the highest level of protection against emerging threats.
A step forward for safer smart cities
As the digital landscape evolves, so do potential risks. At Flashnet, we remain dedicated to staying ahead of cybersecurity challenges, ensuring that our customers and partners benefit from the most secure and robust smart street lighting technology available.
