Therefore, devolo bases the development of its home control products not only on the knowledge of its own experts but also on independent organizations, which at regular intervals carry out controls to issues security. AV-TEST, the renowned independent testing laboratory with extensive experience in the field of security testing, recently carried out extensive tests on devolo Home Control and the result was the performance of the designation "Excellent Protection" while also awarding it with the "Secure" certificate. .
devolo Home Control: "Excellent Protection"
The German AV-TEST Testing Laboratory has conducted extensive testing on devolo Home Control, the easy, intelligent home system that you can install and operate on your own without having any technical knowledge. At the end of the tests, he stated that he deserves the "Safe" rating, while his overall rating gave him the "Excellent Protection" rating. In the final evaluation report, it states, among other things:
"The test team praises the company for its security strategy. At this point, it should be noted that we saw for the first time a TLS connection at Smart Home Control Centers both on the client side and on the server side, which verified by a certificate. "
All of this is not a fact, if anyone in the big smart home comparisons, conducted by the same independent laboratories, last year, will notice that over half of the participating systems were considered unsafe.
With the seal of data security experts
The high quality and reliability of the certification given by the independent testing organization is reflected in the many years of experience and the large number of customers who trust it, since almost all antivirus software manufacturers worldwide rely on the experience of AV-TEST testing laboratories . In the laboratories, which are based in Magdeburg Germanys, over 30 security experts are currently working, who are highly specialized in their field, but also in benchmarking, certifications, stress testing, malware research and preparing detailed security analyzes of different applications.
Safety for the smart home at all levels
