AK Touch Secure delivers highest cybersecurity
The AK Touch Secure smart lock from Kenrick has achieved Secured by Design accreditation and IASME IoT Cyber Assurance Level Two, the highest level available under the Secure Connected Device scheme.
Andy Meakin, sales and marketing manager at Kenrick, said: “Consumers rightly want to be confident that their smart home technologies are secure and safe from attack. With these new accreditations, they can be assured that the AK Touch Secure meets the most demanding security criteria.”
Compatible with any door handle fitted with a Kenrick 3 Star locking cylinder, it can be installed in minutes without major modifications. The lock can be operated via touch-sensitive technology, a secure keypad, or voice control with Google Home or Alexa, with the reassurance of a manual key override.
Its dedicated app offers remote locking and unlocking, real-time status checks, access logs and the option to grant temporary timed access – ideal for Airbnb hosts or contractors.
As the number of cyberattacks on Internet of Things (IoT) devices continues to rise with attacks doubling to 1.51 billion globally between 2020 and 2021, Kenrick says that robustly accredited solutions such as the AK Touch Secure are more important than ever.
