Infineon's OPTIGA™ Product Family

Hardware-based Security Solutions for Embedded Applications

Rising Concerns about Embedded Security

Embedded systems are becoming ubiquitous. Due to trends such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine communication (M2M) the number of connected devices and machines are increasing. Many of these - from small household appliances through large communication networks to complex, industrial automation systems - are controlled by special-purpose, embedded computing systems.

While this networking trend continues to gather pace - promising greater convenience and comfort for users and new business and service models for companies - security in this embedded world often lags far behind. Security vulnerabilities are rising dramatically as the attack surface widens and manufacturers struggle to protect sensitive data, IP and process integrity.
