Common Security Challenges
for IoT
An estimated 31 billion IoT devices were expected
to be deployed by 2020, many with limited security
controls that leave them ripe for hacking. Why are so
many embedded systems designed with vulnerabilities?
In large part, it's because developers face multiple
challenges and complexities when securing embedded
applications and devices. They must keep up with threat
landscapes that morph daily, as well as meet always-
evolving security standards. Simultaneously, complex
applications might require meeting multiple standards,
which can inhibit device compatibility and flexibility.
In many development scenarios, higher-level security
features might also come with higher costs and higher
power consumption, which can adversely impact the
marketability of the end device.
In this white paper, we identify six of the most common
security challenges that embedded developers face
and provide insights and answers to help streamline the
security design workflow to accelerate delivery of secure
devices, services, and systems to the market.
Solving the 6 TOP SECURITY CHALLENGES
of Embedded IoT Design
Ensuring security for embedded Internet of Things (IoT)
designs can be challenging and time-consuming, even
for veteran developers. Explore these six common
security challenges and discover how Renesas offers a
platform-based approach to security that benefits from
the latest advances in both hardware and software,
and delivers in-depth, comprehensive defenses with
multiple layers of protection.
