Alvin Cheng, Managing Director of Greater China Region, Kaspersky Lab, said, “TUV Rheinland is a world-renowned technical service provider for third-party safety assessment and certification. We are very glad to cooperate with TUV Rheinland to promote and apply our Kaspersky Industrial Cybersecurity solutions and intelligence service. We have made several contacts and communications with each other about the partnership. Now, we have started to cooperate in the real project. I believe that our partnership with TUV Rheinland will be a win-win situation, to offer a whole new level of information security protection services for all customers."
TUV Rheinland has specialized in the safety assessment and certification of railway control, command and signalling systems since the 1960s. Under the new terms of cooperation, Kaspersky Lab and TUV Rheinland intend to join forces in providing railway customers in Greater China and Asia-Pacific with a full range of security and safety services, including penetration testing, cybersecurity assessments, railway independent safety assessments, etc.
Vincent Tan, Vice-President of TUV RheinlandRail Division, Greater China and Asia-Pacific, commented, “Cybersecurity is a topic of increasing importance for railway stakeholders. When applied to specific industrial applications such as railway systems, cybersecurity requires deep knowledge of a broader threat landscape, together with applied intelligence on very specialized infrastructure. Kaspersky Lab’s experts have a proven track record in both types of security expertise. Thus, we expect the combination of Kaspersky Lab and TUV Rheinland’s expertise to really help our customers become more resilient to current and future security and safety issues.”
