but a necessary component for long- term business sustainability, especially as regulatory scrutiny intensifies around edge and IoT devices. Then, the onus is on the product teams. As companies develop edge and IoT devices, they must embed security into every phase of the product development lifecycle, from concept through design, testing, and deployment. This approach requires organizations to evaluate their products' security needs from the start, guaranteeing that adequate measures are built into the device architecture. For example, if a device is expected to operate in a highly sensitive environment, such as in a healthcare facility, the security requirements will be much greater than those for a device used in a less-critical application, like a smart gardening system. While security is still needed in both instances, considering the appropriate security measures during the design phase enables product teams to make informed choices about securing data transmission, device authentication, and firmware integrity. Product teams must also recognize that security threats evolve over time. Unlike traditional safety measures, which tend to remain static, security vulnerabilities shift as new attack methods and technologies emerge. Meanwhile, not all vulnerabilities of the product (like software bugs) are identified at the product launch and need to be fixed over the device lifecycle when discovered and identified as critical for the device's security. Therefore, products need to be designed with long-term security in mind, incorporating features like secure over-the-air (OTA) updates to confirm that deployed devices can be patched against new vulnerabilities. A comprehensive and holistic approach to securing devices will naturally extend well beyond the design of the product itself. The supply chain represents C h a p t e r 2 | O w n e r s h i p o f S e c u r i t y Companies can integrate security into their product development lifecycle by adopting a 'security by design' approach involving threat modeling, code reviews, and regular security testing throughout development."
