IoT & Embedded System

IoT & Embedded System

Embedded systems are standalone devices that have usually been designed to do one specific thing. An IoT embedded system is an embedded system that also has connectivity to the internet and can therefore communicate with other IoT embedded systems.

We are surrounded by IoT embedded systems such as:

• Set-top boxes
• Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals
• A wide variety of medical devices
• Any “smart” devices such as smart refrigerators, smart bicycles, fitness trackers, etc.
• Parking meters
• end so on

Regulation & Standards

As IoT devices have increased drastically in a wide range of industries, from critical infrastructure, healthcare to manufacturing and telecommunication. It has brought huge safety and security risks into these industries.

Therefore, regulatory bodies are enforcing more and more security measures on these devices.

Whether it’s in the automotive industries, ICS, healthcare or other sectors, regulation is being made to enforce companies to raise the bar of security in their product at a very high level.

Some regulations are going to even prevent the selling of such devices if the manufacturer doesn’t provide an augmented security dossier demonstrating the security level of his product during its whole life cycle.

Cyber Security as a Business Enabler

As regulation is preventing companies from selling these systems and devices without the right level of security. Companies which comply with these regulations will have a great opportunity to sell their products and to be a supplier for other companies whose regulations are enforced up on them.

Cyber security will be a very important differentiator element for companies searching to align with national and international cyber security regulation.

Challenges & Solution

IoT and embedded system cyber security require a top niche skills in electronics, hardware, software and security domains (like cryptography, system security, secure design and operation).

Our team has the needed experience in these domains and will support you during the whole product development lifecycle all the way to obtaining your target security level.
