Securing High-Value Embedded Targets
By Rich Collins - 12 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Understanding security threats and building solutions to protect against them is a relatively new concept for embedded developers. As an example, many early IoT devices were focused purely on cost. Designers spent very little time architecting robust security solutions. Today, these devices are more involved in users’ daily routines, processing sensitive data such as personal medical informat... » read more

IoT Security: Technology Is Only One Part Of The Equation
By Warren Kurisu - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Survey after survey on the adoption of the IoT punctuates that security and data privacy continue to be the top concerns with any new implementation. It used to be that security was all about protecting data (business, personal ID, etc.), but as more devices are connected to the IoT, security concerns reach far beyond just the value inherent in the data. According to Gartner, nearly 5.5 ... » read more

Functional Safety Issues Rising
By Ed Sperling - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Developing semiconductors for safety-critical markets such as automotive, industrial and medical involves a growing list of extra steps that need to be taken pre- and post-manufacturing to ensure product integrity, reliability and security. This is causing several significant changes: • Designs are becoming much more complicated because they require such features as failover and redundan... » read more

Let’s Talk About Securing The Industrial Internet of Things
By Asaf Ashkenazi - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

What is the IIoT? Objects, sensors, actuators and controllers that were once designed for stand-alone operation are now increasingly connected by means of intelligent software and networks – forming the basis of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). To be sure, GE defines the IIoT as “a network of a multitude of devices connected by communications technologies that results in systems t... » read more

IoT Cyber-Security: A Missing Piece Of The Smart City Puzzle
By Rambus - 04 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Smart city devices, as well as the data they generate, must be protected against a wide range of cyber threats. Vulnerable devices can be hijacked and even physically disabled, while unencrypted or unverified data transmissions can be intercepted, leaked or spoofed. A leak or deliberate falsification of sensitive customer data will inevitably damage a brand and decrease confidence in smart city... » read more

Linux Security Primer: SELinux And SMACK Frameworks
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 27 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 0

With the increased expansion of the IoT, software developers are called upon to do more to protect their devices from malicious attacks. Building a secure system involves many components and layers of security. This paper offers an introductory review of two popular Linux security frameworks: SELinux and SMACK. Readers will gain an understanding of these two frameworks and when to best implemen... » read more

LiDAR Market Continues To Percolate
By Jeff Dorsch - 13 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 1

Light imaging, detection, and ranging (LiDAR) sensors are still dazzling investors and technologists. They are chasing after the technology for automotive applications, while also keeping an eye on LiDAR for drones, industrial automation, mapping, and robotics, among other uses. It’s too early to tell how market share for automotive LiDAR is shaping up, as the bigger vendors are still work... » read more

Let’s Talk About Securing Smart Homes
By Asaf Ashkenazi - 07 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 1

The global smart home market is expected to reach at least $40 billion in value by 2020. Perhaps not surprisingly, OEMs are inadvertently creating major security risks in their rush to market by shipping smart home products with inadequate security and unpatched vulnerabilities. As ABI Research Analyst Dimitrios Pavlakis notes, ignoring cybersecurity at the design level provides a wide-open doo... » read more
