Embedded Security  
 
In his Tech the Future essay Haydn Povey, CEO of Secure Thingz, warns that it's costly to make security an afterthought in your embedded design.

We have two interesting free white papers for you: How to Choose the Right Coding Standard for Embedded Software Security and Automating Coding Standards.

Unlimited opportunity. That's what comes to mind when I think about the future of the Internet of Things (IoT). And, that is both a blessing and a curse.

As the IoT proliferates, billions of cloud-connected devices are expected to be designed, manufactured, and deployed over the next decade. Our increasingly connected world will become hyper-connected, transforming our lives in ways we likely never thought possible. We will see smarter cities where the commuter is automatically guided, smarter farming where livestock health is individually monitored with on-call veterinary services, smarter healthcare to reduce the spiraling costs, integration between smart white goods and utilities to manage grid loading, and the integration of smart retail and personal assistant AI to provide a "curated" shopping experience. That future is limitless and exciting. But it is also frightening. We have already seen the headlines of how attacks have impacted businesses and people with valuable data being stolen or ransomed. It is widely believed the attacks are just starting.

Check Out These New White Papers 
  
Coding standards are proven to improve code quality, but without automation they are difficult to enforce and may be ignored by developers. Download this white paper to learn how to create a coding standard from existing resources and use a static analyzer to ensure it is followed by your developers.
- "Automating Coding Standards"

Security vulnerabilities can put users at risk and damage companies' reputations, and these risks increase as more devices are connected to the internet. Download this white paper to learn how to choose and enforce the best coding standard for your application to reduce these risks.
