Secure by Design for the Internet of Things (IoT)

The Internet of Things (IoT) brings new security challenges introduced by the scale and pace of adoption, as well as the legal and safety consequences of compromised security. Until recently, security has been treated as an afterthought; by adding layers of security after devices are delivered, with infrastructure and applications already in place. But security is too important to be treated as an afterthought. In recent years there has been the Mirai DDoS (“Distributed Denial of Service”), and WannaCry ransomware attacks that are forcing us to think about security differently; responding with defense in depth and with a Secure by Design approach.

Enterprise IoT Security Blueprint – The Primary Steps in the IoT Device Journey

Applying Device Authority’s Enterprise IoT security blueprint, step 1 supports secure production; the secure provisioning of root keys and certificates at the time of manufacturing. The potential impact of an IoT security breach is forcing the right security model from the design and manufacturing phase.

EPS Global is one of the world's largest Programming and Secure Provisioning Service providers, allowing customers to seamlessly access a global network of secure programming centres to service low volume prototype quantities through to high volume IC programming requirements.

EPS Global has been working with PCB assemblers globally since 1999, owning and operating 19 programming centres around the world. EPS provides Secure Provisioning-as-a-Service and Programming-as-a-Service to Tier 1 Automotive electronic suppliers, Top 20 OEMs and Top 50 Contract Manufacturers.
