Introduction
The rapid proliferation of connected devices,
known as the Internet of Things (IoT), has created
an increasingly complex security landscape. As
more devices connect at the edge, they open up
new vulnerabilities extending beyond traditional
information technology (IT) infrastructures.
Within this context, edge devices—often deployed
in remote or uncontrolled environments—are
exposed to a range of various attacks, making
them prime targets for adversaries. Emerging
technologies, from autonomous vehicles to smart
cities, further complicate the equation. These
technologies rely on interconnected devices
that share data in real time, creating potential
cascading effects if one part of the network
becomes compromised. Securing these systems
is no longer an option but a necessity—one that
demands a comprehensive approach involving
risk analysis, threat modeling, and evolving-
threat response.
Regulatory bodies have begun to take notice.
Governments worldwide, including those of
the United States and European Union, are
introducing new frameworks requiring companies
to systematically address security risks. In some
regions, compliance is even becoming mandatory,
with significant penalties for organizations that
fail to secure their systems.
In this eBook, we will discuss the issues
surrounding security risk management and
regulatory compliance at the edge, provide
practical guidance on implementing security
strategies that meet current and future
regulatory requirements, and share how NXP
Semiconductors helps organizations effectively
secure their edge deployments.
