The next wave of computing, based on hyperconnectivity and ubiquitous edge computing will inject technology into every aspect of our lives, with privacy and security across the physical worlds and metaverse becoming an increasingly significant challenge for individual and governments. “With increased connectivity in consumer, medical, industrial, and critical infrastructure domains, just how do we guarantee trust and privacy in a hyper-connected world of devices?”, is the question Haydn Povey, Chief Strategy Officer at IAR Systems poses. IAR is the leading global vendor of development tools for embedded systems, the bedrock of the Internet of Things. With 40 years of success, and hundreds of thousands of software developers utilizing their tools for edge-compute systems and device security, they are leading the charge for a more trustworthy connected future.
“The need to transition from an Internet of ‘broken’ Things to an ‘Internet of Trust’ is critical to both achieving device security and increasing consumer confidence in technology”, says Povey. But, in order to get there, governing bodies have to catch up with the technology; “We need to support legislation and regulations, including guidance highlighted by the World Economic Forum themselves, to ensure that all of the systems being integrated are secure. This simply must be a foundation of the digital world, not just to avoid malware and attacks, but also to protect intellectual property, plus inhibit cloning and counterfeiting, which is already a $500 billion a year industry.”
IAR, a veteran of embedded systems development tools, entered the security domain with a focus on ensuring digital security was both simple and scalable. “It's always been a trend in technology that unfortunately, we in the tech-industry tend to over complicate things, but we need to make security really simple, and that means securing the device and the software early, what we call Security From Inception” says Richard Lind, CEO of IAR. “With a shortage of over 3 million cybersecurity experts globally many industries are transitioning to tool-based solutions to close this privacy and trust gap. We are helping our customers rapidly meet this challenge, delivering security which is tuned to the legislative requirements, but which can be implemented in hours, not months.”
As a relatively new phenomenon, consumers are largely unaware of the deep-rooted challenges inherent in connected technology. In an increasingly digital world, connected devices need as much security and protection as traditional IT-infrastructure. Which is why IAR makes every effort to mitigate these pitfalls before they can escalate into critical infrastructure failures. “If device security is as an afterthought, there will inevitably be a much larger attack surface for ‘bad actors’ to attack, potentially leading to dangerous malware injections. Security must be integrated directly into the DNA of the product, protecting the devices and consumers, straight off the production line”
In the end, it boils down to making security simple. Simple to integrate into devices, simple to manufacture at scale, and simple to maintain and update across the products life cycle.
“Developers must be able to consume security and deliver trustworthy products capable of interconnecting, while providing robust authentication and inhibiting attacks. The World Economic Forum has highlighted five critical security requirements for connected devices” tells Lind. “At IAR we are already delivering integrated solutions to our customers, enabling them to meet this global challenge”.
As the threats increase, so security must become increasingly ubiquitous in all our connected systems. IAR is paving the way to the hyper-connected era of IoT by making security both simple and scalable.
