Security Products & Technology

Security is becoming mandatory in diverse markets. Data breaches and compromised IT environments are becoming a reality.

Legal requirements force solution providers to use state-of-the-art security concepts. In Germany, DSGVO or pan European GDPR are legally binding data protection laws that need to be fulfilled. If critical systems fail or sensitive data leak, severe fines and penalties are imminent. Recent security alerts like Spectre, Meltdown, and other severe problems like vulnerability of the ubiquitous Intel Management Engine clearly demonstrate that security cannot just be placed somewhere in an appendix of a product specification but needs to be part of the DNA of each product.

While PC systems are easily maintained by online-distributed SW packages, industrial, and automotive systems still suffer low maintenance cycles and therefore stay vulnerable over a longer period. The Industrial IoT has highest requirements on quality and security. Always-on devices taking over more and more responsibility in our everyday life offer huge attack surfaces that need the highest security, and at the same time, ease of maintenance over the complete life cycle. Flexible and intuitive secure update concepts as well-trusted boot security are efficiently implemented based on the combination of security and storage by Swissbit products.
