Earlier this month, the White House brought together federal agencies and number of consumer companies, including Amazon, Google, and Intel, to discuss a cybersecurity labeling program for IoT consumer devices. The program calls for EnergyStar like labeling to educate consumers and give them piece of mind that the IoT devices they purchase have a “baseline” of security.

The topic on Embedded Executives eventually gets around to security, the specialty of BG Networks, but we had an interesting discussion about what’s happening in today’s universities.

Winners have been chosen based on a 15-point rubric that considers solutions’ Design Excellence (5 points), Relative Performance (5 points), and Market Impact/Disruption (5 points).

BGN-SAT Security Automation Tool helps engineers quickly improve security, reduce development time, and take advantage of in-silicon security features in their embedded designs.

The importance of security in embedded designs can never be stressed enough. With the expanding cybersecurity threat landscape and lack of security professionals in the workforce, everyday engineers need to be able to implement hardware root-of-trust-grade security in a robust but simplified manner.

This blog is the second of three that will review cyberattacks that exposed severe vulnerabilities. My goal is to help you improve the cybersecurity of your IoT devices by presenting security features that would have mitigated each of the attack vectors used. I’ll also partake in a webinar where we’ll dive into these security features using BG Networks security automation tools, open-source software, and WINSYSTEMS off-the-self hardware.
