Embedded Product Security

Today, security requirements must be considered as an indispensable design goal in the development of networked products in order to ensure the reliable and trouble-free operation of systems. For renowned manufacturers, it is essential to prevent their branded products from becoming a gateway for malware in the field by ensuring a high level of product security. In the case of Critical Infrastructure (CRITIS), measures are even required by law, affecting the utility industry, the health sector and the transport industry. embeX offers OT cybersecurity of products for these sectors and industrial automation, up to the highest level: SL 4 in accordance with IEC 62443.
