What loT device developers need to know about cyber security

Relying on the perimeter defense is not sufficient. When you build your product, when you're architecting your solution, you have to consider security from the very beginning. Only by building security into the device can you address things such as secure boot and security management.

Because high profile cyber-attack headlines are now a weekly occurrence, companies, whether OEM or end-user, are finally getting serious about IoT security. Building a secure IoT device should be no different than meeting any other system requirement.

Securing IoT devices against today’s cyber threats as well as emerging future threats during the lifetime of the device is a critical challenge for embedded developers. A security framework such as Icon Labs’ Floodgate Security Framework, integrated with the MCU, provides IoT developers with the tools needed to secure their devices.
