Implementing security in the IoT age

The IoT has the potential to create huge value from the real-time data collected from sensors and embedded systems in any network. But with the increased value comes risk. The ability to connect with practically any device over a network connection makes it possible for malicious users who spend every day probing for vulnerabilities and weaknesses to find many more targets. When they find a way in, they can bring entire networks down, steal data and blackmail the owners. A report by Kaspersky Labs based on a survey of hacking activity around the world estimated attacks had been staged on more than 40 percent of all industrial control system computers in the first half of 2018 alone.

Dual Core Solutions for Advanced Digital Signal Controller Applications

Embedded applications that need high digital signal processing (DSP) performance are not just demanding an increase in performance to accommodate increasingly complex mathematical algorithms but the addition of communications, functional safety and management features. This combination of factors is leading to changes in the way processing power is deployed in high-integration microcontrollers and digital signal controllers.
