10 Properties of Secure Embedded Systems

The number of security flaws published last year made 2020 the fourth consecutive year to break records in the number of recorded vulnerabilities. When attacking an intelligent edge system, it takes only one vulnerability to lead to an exploit. It’s time to change how we think about securing embedded systems. Discover 10 principles that together will protect your organization’s systems. This white paper covers the most important security design principles that, if adhered to, give you a fighting chance against any attacker who seeks to gain unauthorized access, reverse engineer, steal sensitive information, or otherwise tamper with your embedded system. The beauty of these 10 principles is that they can be layered together into a cohesive set of countermeasures that achieve a multiplicative effect, making device exploitation significantly more difficult and costly for the attacker.
