Icon Labs Posts new White Paper for Developers of Smart Home, IoT and M2M Devices, Networks and Solutions

West Des Moines, Iowa, March 11, 2014 – Icon Labs (www.iconlabs.com), a leading provider of embedded networking and security technology, today announced that a new white paper is available for those in the industry concerned about cyber-attacks upon industrial networks, smart home systems, automobiles, office systems, utility plants, etc. This new white paper - Security Requirements for Embedded Devices – What is Really Needed? can be downloaded here http://www.iconlabs.com/security-requirements-whitepaper/

“Many of today’s modern embedded devices and systems are complex connected computers charged with performing critical functions,” explains Alan Grau, President of Icon Labs. “Including security in these devices is a critical design task. Security features must be considered early in the design process to ensure the device is protected from the advanced cyber-threats they will be facing. “

A security solution for embedded devices must ensure the device firmware has not been tampered with, secure the data stored by the device, secure communication and protect the device from cyber-attacks. This can only be achieved by including security in the early stages of design. There is no one one-size fits all security solution for embedded device. Security requirements must take into consideration the cost of a security failure (economic, environmental, social, etc.), the risk of attack, available attack vectors, and the cost of implementing a security solution.

This new whitepaper covers the top seven challenges for embedded security, how to stop the motivated hacker, and the the top security requirements for embedded devices.
