Understanding the importance of embedded security
A recent report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies claims the cost of cyber crime and cyber espionage could be as high as $500billion, with losses of $100bn and 500,000 jobs in the US alone.
The actual figures are hard to ascertain, as the consequences of such things as IP theft are more difficult to assess than emptied bank accounts.
It is no wonder, then, that designers are looking to design in security from the start, rather than think about it as a retrofit option – an option that cannot yield security levels on a par with designed in security solutions.
The key here is the level of connectivity brought about by the Internet of Things. Every connection increases the security risk and if, as predicted, there are some 30bn connected devices by 2020, that represents a lot of security risks.
When charged with developing a secure system, where should the designer start? Is it with the hardware, the operating system or the application software? Three experts in the field – John Blevins, director of marketing for LynuxWorks, David Kleidermacher, cto of Green Hills Software, and AJ Shipley, chief security architect at Wind River – believe there is a multitude of considerations involved in developing a secure embedded system. _________________ executive car hire
Our short foray into the psychology of investment design, in part one of the article, should make you aware of the importance of psychology in investment and the investment business. Even elementary economics is based on psychology, but, in the past, the emphasis, in financial writing and investment spiels, has been on rational finance with arithmetic and mathematics. _________________ debt relief programs
