Security is complex and isn’t something that one company or entity can achieve on their own. PSA Certified is playing a role in transforming IoT security by working with the ecosystem. Explore why security is so important and how our partners are embracing IoT security.
The explosion of IoT has enabled low-cost hardware to be connected to the network – however many of these devices are vulnerable to attack. Learn why it’s important to understand which devices are secure and why the ecosystem is so passionate about it.
Learn more about how Cypress Semiconductor® embrace security in their product line, aligning with the Platform Security Architecture to create a robust security solution.
“The PSA premise of making embedded security accessible has helped develop the IoT marketplace. PSoC 64 is well-aligned to this premise, providing IoT device designers with a robust security solution that is optimized for their application.”
Jack Ogawa, Cypress Semiconductor
Nuvoton Technology recognize that security is a worldwide problem, that needs a holistic solution. Learn more about how they believe PSA Certified could become the single security standard.
“As we expand our business geographically, the PSA Certified program enables us to maximize our products’ security and brand visibility, and ultimately the value we offer customers. It’s not only good for Nuvoton but it’s an efficient and cost-effective way forward for the entire IoT industry.”
Jason Lin, Nuvoton Technology
Smart meters need a high level of security robustness – Security Platform Inc (SPI) found that PSA Certified gave them a great foundation to build higher robustness into their product.
“Device manufacturers know that our platform is certified on the best global standards which means they can follow those standards, too, and we don’t need to open up our product source code for verification or provide stacks of documentation.”
Suik Hwang, CEO, Security Platform Inc.
As the first partner to achieve PSA Certified Level 2, STMicroelectronics discuss how the scheme is unique in its approach to put security right at the heart of the device.
“PSA Certified brings everything together and gives the IoT mass market a reference package for security.”
Christophe Mani, STM32 Ecosystem Security Marketing Manager, STMicroelectronics
For Zephyr Project the PSA Certified Functional APIs and the test suites improve the route to implement remote systems securely, especially when engineering resources are sparse.
“It is nice to have a set of tests that you can easily run to assure that your non-secure firmware is playing well with the secure side”
Kevin Townsend, Senior Embedded Engineer, Linaro, & Zephyr Project member
Learn more about how ZAYA use PSA Certified to prove their security expertise and execution.
“Just 2-years ago, ZAYA was secure but when manufacturers asked for proof, we didn’t have any. Now we don’t have to convince them we’re secure, we can just show them the PSA Certified accreditation, which proves we’ve been tested by an independent authority.”
Murak Cakmak, CEO and founder, ZAYA
UNISOC discuss how PSA Certified adds reassurance that a product has the necessary security standards, without being an expert on every country’s regulations.
“PSA Certified is a global standard, so customers who are not familiar with China’s security standards can be reassured that the product has achieved levels of security established by leading global experts”
Rudolf U, Senior Director of System & Solution Design Department, UNISOC
In this case study, NXP discuss why they’ve delivered the largest range of PSA Certified products and the role that verified security plays in the IoT ecosystem.
“The combination of NXP’s reputation for secure processing and the validation from PSA Certified industry-wide security standards provide the confidence that consumers need to embrace IoT.”
