We interact continuously with our computing devices, our vehicles are increasingly electrified, sophisticated medical devices assist us with our health, and factories and homes have increasing amounts of sensing and automation capability. The staggering amount of data and processing happening at the connected intelligent edge produces innumerable attack surfaces for nefarious players trying to cause harm or exploit systems for their own gain. Given the increasing threats, most major market segments, including consumer, industrial, medical, and automotive are rapidly moving toward standardization of security. Further, regulatory mandates are emerging that drive developers to consider security for the entire product life cycle. Across all the markets, some common security threats and security issues emerge. Some use cases require that products can only be used in approved settings for a defined lifetime and call for secure use management. In highly interconnected ecosystems, trusted operation becomes more important. Many developers don't have infrastructure in place to provision their products with keys and certificates that are required for security implementation. And finally, IT and OT networks are in a convergence trend that also drives the need for common security solutions. ADI has a deep and rich history providing embedded security solutions across numerous markets. This eBook presents insights from some of our experts and gives readers valuable tools and techniques to improve the level of security out at the intelligent edge.
