Finnish IoT cybersecurity company\u00a0Test of Things has raised \u20ac1.2 million in Pre-Seed funding. <\/p>\n

When a company builds a connected device \u2014 whether it’s a smart lock, a hospital monitor, or a piece of factory equipment \u2014 it has to make sure that device is secure before selling it.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

However, cybersecurity testing and compliance documentation are largely manual work performed by highly skilled experts, and thus very expensive. And it doesn\u2019t scale when today\u2019s market is flooded with connected products. <\/p>\n

“Cybersecurity of products is in everyone’s interest,” says Marko Kaasila, CEO and co-founder of Test of Things. <\/p>\n

“But the current way of assuring it \u2014 manual, not systematic, and expensive \u2014 is unsustainable.” <\/p>\n

Every insecure device that makes it to market is a potential door left unlocked for cyber criminals to exploit\u2014 hack your personal data, the operational systems of the factory, or the controls within an office building, even threatening essential critical infrastructure such as the electricity grid. <\/p>\n

Test of Things is building a platform that automates cybersecurity compliance testing end-to-end. Instead of a team of cybersecurity experts spending weeks manually combing through a device’s security, their AI-powered software handles the heavy lifting \u2014 running tests continuously, flagging issues early, and generating the compliance documentation that regulators increasingly require.<\/p>\n

For device manufacturers, this means getting secure products to market faster. For the rest of us, it means the things we invite into our homes and workplaces are a little less likely to be someone else’s backdoor.<\/p>\n

According to Rauli Kaksonen, CTO and co-founder:<\/p>\n

“This investment will let us focus on building the product further and start helping manufacturers to achieve their customers\u2019 and authorities\u2019 trust with secure products.” <\/p>\n
