Risks of Inadequate Embedded Security:
- Vulnerability to cyber attacks: Unsecured devices are prime targets for malicious actors
- Intellectual property theft: Unprotected firmware can be easily extracted and reverse-engineered
- Data breaches: Compromised devices may leak sensitive user information
- Non-compliance with emerging IoT security legislation (e.g., UK PSTI Act, EU Cyber Resilience Act)
- Potential for device cloning and counterfeiting, impacting revenue and brand reputation
Benefits of our Solution:
- Reduction of costly manufacturing time, delivering a secure, pre-programmed device
- No modification of customer software or firmware
- Unique device certificates can be programmed at no extra cost, compatible with most cloud services
- Customer receives free technical support for the encryption process
- Certified production volume – prevents cloning
- Secures the firmware within the manufacturing process
EPS Global provides robust encryption and security features to mitigate these risks.

Secure Provisioning – Essential Security Measures for the IOT
SECURITY IN AUTOMOTIVE & THE INTERNET OF THINGS
Why is it important?
Traditional Connected Devices
In the typical Wintel or mobile phone environment where most of our internet connectivity has existed, there is today a considerable overhead of code and memory devoted to securing the applications. This results in an acceptably high threshold for hackers to surmount to compromise these devices.
End-to-End Security
Chip and technology makers such as ARM are focused on security and are working to integrate new security features into the next generation of microcontrollers using their Trustzone platform and Cryptocell technologies.
These features allow customers to embed unique keys that can be programmed into their chips and used to identify users accessing the chip to determine the users’ validity.
EPS is working to develop a portfolio of programming services in the area of security to allow our customers to take full advantage of these new features.
Automotive & IoT
In automotive electronics, many of the chips and operating systems used are smaller and do not carry the same memory or security overhead. Thanks to the IoT however, they are beginning to share some of the same connectivity. This results in a concern that key systems may be too easily compromised by hackers.
