MY TAKE: Technology breakthroughs, emerging standards are coalescing to assure IoT integrity
- The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing at a compounded rate of 12%, and by 2030 an estimate suggested we will be relying on some 41 billion IoT devices worldwide. Ensuring that hyper-connected IoT devices are resilient against cyber threats requires technical innovation that infuses with supporting security standards and emerging government regulations much quicker and smoother than the speed of the Internet era.
- Infineon, for instance, is known for supplying secured, energy-efficient semiconductors and microcontrollers critical for IoT security. The Munich, Germany-based company has stepped forward to take a leading role in making security breakthroughs at the hardware level.
- Microcontrollers have emerged as a main ingredient for securing IoT services. Infineon designs microcontrollers to be much more capable and secured in IoT applications to help establish a trusted foundation at the outermost edges of modern IoT systems by safeguarding device integrity inside each IoT sensor and IoT controller.
- The EU and the US are pushing for stricter data security compliance rules. The EU's Cyber Resilience Act requires connected devices sold in Europe to meet cybersecurity benchmarks. Meanwhile, the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark will serve as a certification for secure consumer IoT devices. Infineon's innovations come as regulatory bodies are preparing for the strategic growth of the IoT market with compliance requirements acting as a global catalyst for consistent device security.
- Infineon is among the companies preparing for the future by developing post-quantum encryption to replace today's vulnerable asymmetric algorithms, posing a significant risk to connected systems.
- Proactivity is necessary towards taking a proactive stance on IoT security has become de rigueur, and every stakeholder must be vigilant in creating a safer hyperconnected digital ecosystem.
- Infineon's microcontrollers are optimized to prevent unauthorized access and preserve data integrity in everything from cars to smart home devices. Infineon has integrated a Hardware Security Module directly into their microcontrollers to enhance security in critical IoT applications like automotive systems.
- The EU's decision to enforce security requirements through the CE mark is powerful because it extends to non-European manufacturers who want access to the market.
- The securing of our increasingly hyper-connected digital world is unfolding in real-time, and it requires proactive measures to maintain the security between internet users and devices.
- Emerging standards, technologies are coalescing to ensure IoT integrity, and security must be embedded in each IoT device from the start.
