It is presented by David Maidment, director of Secure Devices Ecosystem within the Architecture and Technology Group at Arm, and among other topics he’ll be examining PSA Certified and Root of Trust.
The webinar takes place Thursday 28 January at 3pm, lasting one hour. It is free to attend.
As digital transformation gathers pace, we see a rapid growth of smart connected devices. As deployment scales, end users need to feel confident that their devices are secure from cyber-attacks. Solving the threat of cyber-attacks is at the centre of fuelling this growth – making device security more critical than ever. Despite this, it’s fair to say that the approach to device security has been fragmented and inconsistent – this not only impedes confidence but ultimately limits potential growth in IoT. A unified and collaborative approach to device security is the key to digital transformation truly at scale.
In this session we’ll discuss how PSA Certified has enabled the electronics industry to adopt a common security framework; putting a hardware Root of Trust at the heart of the system and extending it through systems with reusable software components. The framework is underpinned by a certification scheme which has introduced ‘levels of security’ which are easy to understand and offer a label as proof point of security investment. Listen live to learn more about PSA Certified and how you can join our rapidly growing ecosystem to defragment security.
