Secure Hardening of Embedded Devices

by Steve Hoffenberg, with Chris Rommel, Jaunuary 2015

What questions are addressed?

  • Efforts to restrict unauthorized access to connected devices are necessary but not sufficient to provide security.

  • Nearly every element of a device's internal systems can be security-enhanced. The degree to which these systems should be protected is a critical decision in the design process.

  • Implementation of multiple security measures does not guarantee complete security.

  • Penetration testing by security professionals is an essential best practice for development of connected devices.
