Security is an important part of any application that encompasses critical functionality, and as electronic systems spread to almost every global market, pressure rises for the hardware to be secure.
This change in landscape means that responsibilities have shifted towards design houses, becoming more accountable for their products, in order to avoid substantial financial and reputational implications.
Security can be considered throughout all different stages of the development lifecycle, from specifications to production as well as in-field and end of life. With dedicated effort, security issues can be addressed in the development pipeline well before deployment to production. This reduces the risk of including security vulnerabilities in your product and works to minimize the impact if any are found.
