To deliver comprehensive, in-depth security protection for products based on embedded devices requires a highly integrated, optimized platform with multiple protocols and safeguards that work together to provide security at many levels. The Renesas Synergy platform offers developers a head start by delivering a complete development environment that provides a unique, built-in set of hardware and software security capabilities. These build on a shared root of trust that meets the requirements of securing embedded devices and IoT networks. The platform also extends the ability to ensure secure, scalable manufacturing and protection of intellectual property. Developers can also take advantage of Renesas' online library of application projects for step-by-step instructions and guidance on building end-to-end security solutions. In addition, basing your designs on the Synergy platform gives you the support of the large, robust Renesas community and ecosystem of alliance partners. The Renesas network of trained and certified design service partners are available to support every stage in your design cycle, working with you to achieve your design and business goals. Leveraging Renesas partners can help speed development and extend deep expertise into your security solution development. How Can I Get More Standardization and Support for Security from Vendors and Put My Own Resources on the Parts of the Design that Differentiate? Before you begin development, make sure to select an MCU solution that provides a highly integrated platform of functionalities that work together to deliver security at multiple levels. Malicious agents can take advantage of vulnerabilities in embedded designs when variations in design and security protocols create weak points that hackers can infiltrate. This is particularly a risk when MCU hardware, software, communication stacks, and drivers have not been standardized into a fully integrated framework. A comprehensive, fully integrated development platform with in-depth security protections makes securing your design as simple and painless as possible. Pick a framework that is pre- integrated with key software, functionalities, stacks, and drivers already incorporated into the platform. This frees developers from dealing with lower-level integrations, allowing them to focus on designing the features and capabilities that will make their product stand out.
